Would this be enough cooking space for say two people, four or more? As in how many steaks/burgers/chicken pieces etc. can be done at one time?

It's great for 2 people. But, I think you can get 4 burgers and 3-4 chicken breasts on at one time. It would be pretty crowded and you don't want too much fat dripping on the coals. To cook for 4 people you may need to plan for a 2nd cooking and have a way to keep the first batch warm. Hope this is helpful.

Hello. Two Rib-Eye steaks at the most. Burgers, 5 at the most. Good size ones I mean. I use it for two people and it works great. There have been a few times where I wish that it was bigger but, the next size up is too large for what I need. It is a two person grill. Well built. I like Weber grills alot. But this is a much better deal for the money. The ash canister is awesome. Plus remember this grill has " two " vents. One on top and one on the bottom near the ash canister. Most, including Webers do not have the " two " vents. What this means is that with the two vent system you have much, much more control over the Heat and Flame. No more high Flame that ruins the meat. It gives alot more control and you can, with practice, cook to the exact way that you like. The bottom vent controls the Flame. More intense or less intense of a Flame. The top vent controls the actual level of Heat. Top vent closed gives you more Heat level. Top vent open gives you less Heat like for a longer cook time for example spare-ribs. Get it but decide what size is best for your needs. When in doubt go larger.

Plenty of room for up to 4 pieces of meat of most any kind. The ash catcher is great, easy clean up!

I originally wanted it for 2-4 but it was larger than expected. I use it for 4-6 people. I follow a recipe on YouTube titled Chicken Tagine with Potatoes, Olives but I double the recipe. I bring the dish to the table and my guests love it! I also use the pan for roasts and stews. Did I answer your question?

I think the big pot will be able to make enough chili for 2-3 people and if you are grilling hot dogs you could probably do 3-4 dogs in the pan. You could provably boil 8+ hot dos in the big pot too. The smaller pot is better for single serve for one person. If you don't mind cooking one time over to make enough for everyone these pots and pans ares still a good deal and they are quick to clean up.

Not a whole chicken, obviously, but if you're talking a cup of rice and a couple of chicken pieces, absolutely. It's a great size for cooking for 1-2 people.

We used our portable grill camping a lot this summer. We cooked chicken, hamburgers, steak and pork chops. You can easily cook 3 or 4 meals on it. If you are using it for smoking you would get several hours before you would have to refill it.

I make one large hamburger in it. The heat is great and it does a good job. Two steaks.....well I do think its a bit small for that.I have a larger counter top grill that I use for more then one item.

it should be able to 'fry' 8 I would think since you can flip it open and use the top and bottom simultaneously. I guess it depends on how big a burger you want to make. Or you can cook 4 with the lid closed and do them twice as fast!

It is not as big as a standard wok. However, we routinely cook stir fries for 4 people, and have leftovers. Depends on how much you eat, though.

It depends a bit if you are considering using it for entertaining guests. However, if you cook for just two people, the smaller size is more than sufficient and the 7 quart will generally be much to large.

If it was a Costco chicken (on steroids) no it would not be big enough. If you are doing 2 standard size chicken breasts it would be just fine. This pan is 1/2 the size of a "normal" full size oven roasting pan. It is great for one or two steaks or one or two other types of meat or chicken for two people. It is not the pan you would use for a family of 3 or 4 or more.

Yes, this could be good for a family of four. It will accommodate a pot roast with veggies added, enough homemade spaghetti sauce for the family with leftovers, a full recipe of pea or lentil soup, a full recipe of any beans you want to cook. If you let the pot soak with a bit of soap in the water, cleaning is quite easy.

There are only 2 of you eh? This cooker is fine for two people, one dinner today and one leftover for tomorrow. I eat very little meat but a small roast is no problem. Make sure you have some water in it always. The booklet it comes with is a great beginning book and will guide you well. I am having a good time with it...

oh yes, it is more than big enough to cook pasta for two, I have done it, and then put the sauce right into the pan to finish cooking. actually holds enough for 3-4 people

This is not a large size grill, more of a medium size. No yet having used it to capacity, you could probably grill a dozen patties with some working space between them.

I have used this for 6 people--it's fun letting your company decide to boil or grill their meat. If you let them decide, you can use it for more...but the space would be limited if you're also using the pot section for noodles and vegetables.

I cook for party of two. The 4.5 qt perfect. If more diners, perhaps the larger, 6 qt, would be the answer.

Hi Bonnie, you won´t have problems if it is one or six, anyway go on checking the cooking during the 4 minutes required for a nice ending.Good luck !!!!Pauline
