Hi Stephen
We have a "Baby George" which is just the right size for two. It's brilliant. We cook chicken, burgers, chops and steaks on it and it's much better than the grill. Don't know about the one you're thinking of.

Hi Stephen,
Don't have one myself but being a nosey git and having nothing else to do just now I had a search around and found Amazon selling these and giving technical information regarding them.
The grill and griddle is rated at 2150 watts, that, according to my calculations equates to approx 9amps. So if you are on a Club site with 16 amp hook ups you will have 5 amps to play with but on other sites with less say 10amps or even less you might have a problem.

Thanx for the replies. maybe the Baby George only 800w is a better option as we use CL's a lot.
Robert, how do yo convert from watts to amps?

We use the larger one in our van a lot. You can make two full size toasted sandwiches at a time in it, they're delicious.
It does steak to a turn and can also do a good lamb chop.
Nice and easy to clean too.
All you have to do is regard it as simlar power to your microwave and plan your meal accordingly. We have no trouble doing a full english and I certainly have no complaints about the taste.
What can I say, "Ummmmmm burgers"

Hi, We used our baby george last year when touring Portugal for 3 months.
No problem and a great asset. Just right for two as above, low power (700W) and a great way of saving Calor gas which we were worried about. As it turned out we are still using the initial 13kg cylinder. Also you can use it in the awning, which helps when it is hot and sunny outside.

Just bought one from Tesco Saturday reduced from 68 quid to 30, only 3 left.
Can't be bad forv that price should save on gas for the breaky and steaks etc.

)_Well after seing a demonstration of a forman grill in action, with the smoke coming away from it, during its cooking cycle , how do you guys manage with the smoke alarms, decided that if anything could cause a internal fire within the van the grill would be top of the list.
So glad i never bought one.
