Personally I'd pass on that because it's not enough space for grilling or griddling. Unless this is specifically to take with you to the beach, camping, or whatever, it seems like it's going to leave too much to be desired. I like the price, but to me it's a novelty. I always go bigger than I think I need and always end up with not enough space.
99% of the time I'll just be cooking for me. I still have my pit barrel smoker too.

Lol, that's plenty of space for juan mountain man and juan wolf.

One thing I can tell you is a propane grill basically just bakes your meals and does those shitty char marks everyone raves about but no one likes to bite into. Why? Cause grill marks are dogshit in comparison to an even sear/crust that a charcoal grill or stick burner provides. You don't see anyone with anyone with a real grill go for grill marked steaks. Tastes bitter.

Not bad depending on quality
Running chickens is expensive, my eggs are easily a buck a piece if you factor in time spent on them and cost of feed/materials.

Looks nice
I want a griddle set up, but Winter air so wet here most years that stuff molds or rusts in the winter

So I mostly use cheap grills
I had something like this on my last grill (that rusted out, lol), stainless. It fit inside the bbq and is still fine, in a box somewhere still.
Worth it to throw on a big bbq.

My stainless splancha took up almost half of my last grill.

The one thing I didn't like about that set up was having the whole thing open while I worked the griddle, changed how I had to cook on the grill side and took longer due to greater heat loss.
Thats why this is interesting tbh. Plus I really don't need a monster grill at this small house.

Get a weber with a griddle insert!

I've literally never heard a person say that before.
Black burn marks vs an evenly distributed sear. A little past golden brown. Cooking a steak in a griddle gets a similar mailard effect. Just lower the burners on one side to slow the cook down. On a Weber you can spin the grill grate. Thats not an accident. It's to cool down the grate so you can cook under coals and not the grates. Try it out.

was in Jamaica a few weeks ago and had some fantastic charcoal Jerk Chicken on the beach at Montego bay

Probably an off the wall question, but did you try KFC when you were there? Apparently KFC is next level in Jamaica because it has a different spice recipe. Not that you'd travel there for shit fast food, but apparently it's worth a try anywhere in the Caribbean, especially Jamaica (according to David's been here, Mark Weins, and a few others).

Most people leave their grill grate alone while cooking and just move the food because they aren't gay, but you do you. Grill lines are a natural part of grilling. Also, char is a good flavor. It is one of the best things about cooking on a grill.

You can't really spin the grate unless you get one of those spin grates, or a model that has them. Mine is normal and really would require two sets of tongs to grab handles and turn. With one tong or a pigtail flipper the grate doesn't move more than an inch or two before getting stuck. Guga has the spin grate, which makes it a breeze. Nothing wrong with just moving the meat from direct to indirect.

The gays I saw grilling said they sell those grate spinners at the gay store.

I thought they meant an actual gay person store. Maybe, I dunno.
They may sell them at gay stores too. Gays do all sorts of weird shit with dildos, fire, branding etc... No need to risk getting ass raped just to buy one. Amazon ass rapes you too, since they hate America and 90% of their products are from China. Choose which rape you prefer, or, OR, don't get raped at all and use the grill as it's supposed to be used.
