Does this grill flame up with greasy foods?

Highly subjective! I think any grill flares up with grease dripping down and hitting flame. I would say this grill flares up as much or as little as any grill would.

Yes. This is true of all gas grills. The big difference here is it's a small grill and the flames are disproportionately large. In the end, however, it's far easier to cook on this than a campfire.

I haven't grilled any burgers or steaks, but have grilled vegetables after smoking meat. Because the flames are farther from the grill, it takes a bit longer, but if you starter when the fire is first going, it should grill very well. My fire was 3 hours old when I grilled the veggies. I love the cooker.

actually never had any problem with the flame. I let grill heat up with lid on then reduce heat to low or medium to cook. Grill works great and I'm very satisfied with it's operation.

I haven't noticed any problems with clogged burners due to grease.It has been the best cooking grill I've owned to date.

The grill grate is solid immediately above the burners. I have had no problems with grease entering the burners

It will flare with very fatty meats, but is very much improved over other grills I have owned.

Yes, I am ashamed to admit it does. I was frying some food, and one thing led to another...but yes, it works well on grease fires. It put it out almost immediately upon spraying it.

I would say it is about the same as any top end gas grill (about the same as the Weber and Vermont castings). If you are dripping grease and fat onto an open flame you will get fire. The best way to minimize flare ups is to keep the grill clean. Any small thing that causes the grease to pool up can act as a point source for a flare up.

It's easy, just make sure you clean the grease trap often. We've had some flames, I think it's because the grease trap sits under the fire bowl, so if you forget to empty it, you end up with a fire!

No the grill gets too hot. This had a short life for the oven, you should buy a different thermometer.

I have found this grill is SO slick , you do Not need any type of oil.But if you want to use some, brush olive oil or coconut oil on your food before putting it on the grill.

Yes of course it does. You can not have anything frying grease without it occurring. Just crack open the windows and turn on the stove vents to help it disperse.

None at all. We use it for burgers and bacon, grilled cheese etc. and it has never smoked.

I have not tried to cook meat in it yet. I imagine the grease will drip out the sides into the fire, it`s gotta go someplace!

Yes, I've had cheese melt and burn on it from a grilled cheese sandwich, wiped off with a paper towel. Looked like I hadn't used the pan at all!

the legs dont really get that hot but the underneath of the grill is where the drip tray is so it does get warm but i dont think it would cause a fire or be a hazard .. hope this helps

Because the grease drips into a tray outside the grill instead of hot coals like outside it does not smoke, but I guess it depends on what you are cooking. If you were to cook it in a pan on the stove and it smoked I guess it would on the G. Foreman grill. It has not been an issue for me. I have cooked marinated meat and they have been fine.
