This is a large grill, with nearly 600 square inches of primary grilling space. The four burner design is great for a wide variety of grilling tasks and is perfect for indirect grilling, allowing for a kind of surround heat. This unit also has a good BTU output from porcelain coated cast iron burners. All in all, the components on this grill are of good quality and should last a long time.

Guide Review - Coleman 5400 Gas Grill

This model has been discontinued.

After five years in the Gas Grill market, Coleman has completely abandoned the mass market merchants and moved to specialty stores for its grills. This gives them better price control and has allowed them to make some improvements in their grills. The 5400 series gas grill is a good step up from last year's 5300. The BTUs are higher, 67,000, under 594 square inches of primary cooking space.

This is a very large grill for the price and if you want one try your local grill store or contact Coleman for more information about finding one.

The components in this grill are strong. Four porcelain coated cast iron burners should last you a long time. The cooking grate is 304 stainless steel with 3/8 inch diameter rods. While they could be heavier, for the price this is a pretty good set of cooking grates. You also get a brass side burner, which is typical for the lower end market. The design has also been improving so this isn't a bad looking grill either. This grill is also available in natural gas.

Coleman has been in business for over a hundred years and making grills for about 6 years now. They have a good warranty and aren't likely to skip out on anything. Coleman has been trying to get back their great name for quality and these latest grills are a step in the right direction.
