The internet is such an amazing thing. There we were, just a bunch of children who enjoyed watching infomercials but never thought other kids did too. Then some 20 years later we realized there were hundreds of us
Always love the comparisons how much food can be made on the Red Devil, at the same time as the big backyard grill. When you have ten going at the same time it helps.
This was the best grill I ever had until it wore out. When I went to buy a new one I found out a lot of people had been using thers improperly and they were recalled. I used mine and never had a problem with it until it just plain wore out.
I agree 100% with this comment,I still have it and the paint is all wore off,I used it so much,I belive it was used incorrectly, I mean seriously who'd be dumb enough to light it through the air intake LOL,that was one of the complaints,along with it tipping over,well my guess is people's kids were just knocking it over,mine never just fell over even in a strong wind.
Lol. I just bought a new one( still in box, never used) for $25 today. I'm anxious to put it together and get a good meal going on it. I'm tall and disabled and likely will be sitting while cooking anyway. Used to cook on wok's 4-5×'s a week and had next to no body fat way back then... Put on a few pounds since is saying it mildly..lol
I was stationed at Travis AFB in Northern California with one of the girls in this video during my time in the USAF, wonder if she made it big, maybe being in this infomercial was the start of her rise to where-ever she is now...
We bought this through an infomercial. We paid approx. $ 129.95 with free S/H ...We have NEVER had any problems with it and we use it allot. It has gone with us camping and on day picnics at Parks and such. We use it on the patio even in winter. It is GREAT FOR COOKING STEAKS !!! We would buy another if this one ever wore out but parts are still available for it on the internet. Best low-end priced grill we have ever owned!!!
My dad bought this back-in-the-day and it still works! But he just uses the wok part. Aka “super skillet” the grill part lasted 4 years he said. The “super skillet” setup is seriously one of the best outdoor cooking setups I’ve ever come across.
He asks that poor guy in the background to cook some burgers and dogs, and then he makes fun of him throughout the show for having a grill that only grills and that they are tired of eating “boring burgers and boring dogs.” I’d be thinking, Mick, _you_ asked _me_ to grill them-and it’s _your_ fucking grill.”
At the beginning they're all happy eating, and then realize they've been had as Mick begins to harp on about another shitty product he's trying to sell them.
(2002)WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Wal-Mart Stores, of Bentonville, Ark., is recalling about 60,000 Red Devil gas grills sold at Wal-Mart. About 155,000 of these grills were manufactured by e4L Inc., of Encino, Calif., and Quantum North America Inc., of Encino, Calif. Because the manufacturer is out of business, CPSC issued a warning about these grills in May 2002. The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles. There have been 44 reports of consumers suffering burns to legs, hands and fingers, including reports of some third degree burns, after the grills collapsed during use. More than 1,000 consumers returned their grills to the manufacturer because the grills collapsed. There have been no reports of incidents or injuries involving these grills sold by Wal-Mart. These red metal gas grills have a tripod stand. They have a logo on the label of the lid and grill base showing a devil cooking at a grill with the writing, "Red Devil." The lid also reads "The Portable Outdoor Kitchen." The black plastic base, above the tripod, reads "QUANTUM HOMEWARES." Components sold with the grill include a heat plate, an oversized skillet with handles, a table-safe serving trivet, and carrying totes. They were manufactured in Hong Kong. Quantum and e4L sold these grills directly to consumers through television infomercials from about May 1998 through January 1999 for about $160. This recall only includes grills sold at Wal-Mart. CPSC sued e4L Inc. and Quantum North America Inc. to obtain a recall, and an administrative law judge granted CPSC a default judgment when these manufacturers failed to appear. The firms are liquidating their assets under bankruptcy law. Both the Home Shopping Network (HSN) and QVC previously notified their customers directly about the hazard these grills pose, and provided a remedy. Since Quantum and e4L have declared bankruptcy, there is no remedy available for grill bought from retailers other than HSN, QVC and Wal-Mart. CPSC urges consumers to stop using these grills immediately. Consumers who purchased Red Devil gas grills from Wal-Mart can return them to the store for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Wal-Mart Customer Service at (800) WALMART anytime, or visit Wal-Mart's web site at www.walmart.com. Consumers who purchased their Red Devil Gas Grills from a retailer other than Wal-Mart should contact the retailer. If that retailer does not provide a refund, repair or replacement for the grill, consumers should contact CPSC at (800) 638-2772 anytime. Additionally, consumers who are aware of any incidents with these grills or who want additional information also should contact CPSC. About 19,300 of these grills, sold directly by e4L, were recalled in July 1998 because the burners could disconnect from the burner pan. The firm received 21 reports of the burners on these grills disconnecting and one consumer suffered burns. Even if consumers participated in this previous recall program, they should stop using these grills since this warning addresses a different hazard. About the U.S. CPSC
Don't you hate it when you're invited over to your friends BBQ and they start their selling pitch, including all the cameras? Man, seems like every time....
I watched this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times when i was a kid...I actually kind of wanted one for my birthday when I was young just cause I saw it so often. Cause i had insomnia even in my youth
Hey guys! Don't forget to check out Part 2. My Dad is in it, his name is Gary. You can find him @ 5:15. Jack Miller was great too. Thanks again vcrcooking!
My grandpa just gave me a brand new one, it's pretty funky the lid doesn't really sit on top of the grill like a weber or any other grill so outside storage is tricky you pretty much have to pack it away when you're done
They keep overdoing these infomercials. Why do they have to have acting and a plot? Just say what the product does. wtf do British people know about making Texas chili?
Hahahaha The only infomercial me and my family We’re duped by. I don’t know how it happened but we all ended up sitting down watching this and yeah by the midpoint my father had Call to order one I think we may be used in a dozen times and never fell over thank God. It just stayed in the shed for a while and I think we threw it away a few years ago
The internet is such an amazing thing. There we were, just a bunch of children who enjoyed watching infomercials but never thought other kids did too. Then some 20 years later we realized there were hundreds of us
What?! Lol I’m here to see if my mom had a lifetime warranty or not?
your still wrong, there were THOUSANDS
How true
Who would've thought 26 years ago that perfect strangers from all across the world would gather together in one place to share their nostalgia.
This was my Saturday, lunch time watch. Every time I watched it, I became convinced, as a fifth grader, I needed one.
Everything's easy when you have 10 grills going, all the prep work done, and a $2000 grocery budget for a party.
🤣🤣
haters gonna hate
They were going overboard on everything to make a point
I've been uttering the phrase, "That's the warming zone!" for a long time. I'm glad I can finally reference it with proof. Nice.
Haha!!! That’s why I found this 9 years later
I think I watched this over 100 times when I was a kid....(no friends)
same.
Same here , lol.
Wow, I did too. Lol
Between this, the Turbo Cooker and Magic Bullet, my 4am teen years were solid
Me too
I remember being drunk as hell during my partying years.... Watching this. And end up ordering $50 worth of pizza.
Dude I bet. I'm 35 and remember this too lmao
"they're your friends" haha
Always love the comparisons how much food can be made on the Red Devil, at the same time as the big backyard grill. When you have ten going at the same time it helps.
Getting home drunk at 3am as a teenager and watching this every Saturday for 2 years
I'm so glad someone finally found this gem and posted it! I remember watching this late at night and cracking up!
Ive got one still in the box
I remember being high on Vicodin, Soma and Xanax from Florida pain clinics... while watching this infomercial at 4am after a trip to the club.
This dude literally threw a party to flex his grill on everyone
Thank you Jeremy
i miss the 90's cooking shows ahh damn memories :'-(
44 REPORTS OF THIRD DEGREE BURNS
I used to watch this all the time...I love infomercials
Man the idea of going over to someone's house thinking you're going to a BBQ and you've actually been roped into a sales pitch is nightmarish.
Yes, but free food so why not?
This was the best grill I ever had until it wore out. When I went to buy a new one I found out a lot of people had been using thers improperly and they were recalled. I used mine and never had a problem with it until it just plain wore out.

Tim McCurdy I have a brand new one, never used we just opened the box.
Lol. I just bought a new one( still in box, never used) for $25 today. I'm anxious to put it together and get a good meal going on it. I'm tall and disabled and likely will be sitting while cooking anyway. Used to cook on wok's 4-5×'s a week and had next to no body fat way back then... Put on a few pounds since is saying it mildly..lol
I have the exact grill still in the box never used
I loved mine too. I was upset when I found out they were recalled and I couldn't get one for my mom. Mine was stolen.
I have this grill,used it hundreds of times with no issues,maybe because I'm not an idiot.
I have one and love it - used it yesterday
i like how they have the token negative guy who isnt going to be fooled by anyone.
Watching here : Nov. 11, 2018.
Missin'my childhood days watchin' this infomercial.
Nostalgia...
I watched this so many times when studying all night for finals. Brings back good memories. Thank you for posting!
please tell me they fine-chopped that wonderful beef with the Magic Bullet
Yeah... They were together to plug that Magic Bullet! Were they married?
No they used the bullet express
Omg I used to watch this alot back in the day during my early years of insomnia!! Been trying to find this forever!!!

That double spatula technique is really annoying me for some reason
I love watching Mick and MiMI
they are the same couple from the Magic Bullet series.
Yes.
MiMick
I'd love to throw it in Mimi

The “super skillet” setup is seriously one of the best outdoor cooking setups I’ve ever come across.
Pizza lunchable to my left, surge soda to my right. Mom and Dad at work, remote control all mine. I miss those days...
This Comercial shows us the good old America!

Incredible acting. So natural. Awards are in order.
Summer at 1 am, this was what to watch and loved it. Couldn’t buy cuz I was 13 lol
Don't you hate it when you're invited over to your friends BBQ and they start their selling pitch, including all the cameras? Man, seems like every time....
8:15 The Man is lost to the Red Devil grill.
I still remember this back in 90's.
*It was broadcasted over at IBC 13.*
“It’s so hot” she says to a guy wearing 2 shirts....
Where do you get off calling that TEXAS chili?!
Agreed
Yep. That is not Texas chili.
Exactly. You NEVER EVER put those bean things in chili. You might have
some beans on the side, but. . .
This is the same couple from the Bullet blender infomercial. They had their 15 minutes.
I watched this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times when i was a kid...I actually kind of wanted one for my birthday when I was young just cause I saw it so often. Cause i had insomnia even in my youth
Lol. Me too.
That chili looked more like stir-fry.
Hey guys! Don't forget to check out Part 2. My Dad is in it, his name is Gary. You can find him @ 5:15. Jack Miller was great too. Thanks again vcrcooking!
Imagine being invited to a bbq and the highlight is the host showing you how to cook 3 bean chili 😂😂😂
Hmmm bacon-scented rolls.
I watched this so many times as a kid lol.
My grandpa just gave me a brand new one, it's pretty funky the lid doesn't really sit on top of the grill like a weber or any other grill so outside storage is tricky you pretty much have to pack it away when you're done
They haven’t made these for 20 years bro
beauuuuuuuuuuuuutiful fajitas.
Hastie was parodied by Bryan Callen, playing the character Tony Bright. on _MAD TV's_ recurring skit _Incredible Findings_ in the 1996-97 season.
the pawn shop near me just bought one of these.
You shouldn’t buy it, it was recalled
Well i didnt when i posted it 5 yrs ago
This one made me so hungry when I was a kid I ate a whole box of berry berry kix
Hi, I was in two scenes not on these videos, do you have footage of someone with the RDPOC next to a stream and/or riding a bike?
8:18 Man!
The grill height is kinda low tho. Never had one of these
Love love the awkwardness ❤ good times those were
good luck finding one of these. They recalled them because they burst into flames
2:24 boring burgers and boring duggs..😆😆 I remember this at 3 in the morning way back then
Wtf, how far does the Mick & Mimi cinematic universe go?
All these items are "so revolutionary"....lol
I remember this Infomercial! I have been trying to find it, but now, I am glad you uploaded it.
Bar none, the best damn grill I ever owned. I have had grills more expensive, and some cheaper, but this one seemed to hit the sweet spot.
I have one still in the box
That’s the WARMING zone!
This is why I stopped going to their BBQ... Always trying to sell me something
These were recalled. They tended to fall, burning everyone in range.
They grilled your friends, not just the food.
Did they prep the indigents with the magic bullet!!
They keep overdoing these infomercials. Why do they have to have acting and a plot? Just say what the product does. wtf do British people know about making Texas chili?
Fuck all apparently, that’s why he put about 5 different types of beans, when any real Texan would know that chili doesn’t have beans in it!
Mick and mimi are past there 12 .5 minutes of selling crap
It's weird , no one eats the food.
Hahahaha The only infomercial me and my family We’re duped by.
I don’t know how it happened but we all ended up sitting down watching this and yeah by the midpoint my father had Call to order one I think we may be used in a dozen times and never fell over thank God.
It just stayed in the shed for a while and I think we threw it away a few years ago
Greatest acting ever.
I have a brand new open, but never unpacked or used Red Devil Grill. It comes with the utensils and briefcase. Who’s interested?
how much?
Holy crap.. before the Magic Bullet
They should remake this, just make the base much more stable
But what if I just want a hot dog at the cookout, and not "chili" and bacon-flavored French toast?
If they didn't even go in the kitchen, where did they get all the plates that the food is on?
I remember watching this, as a kid.
Miss these infomercial
Terry Twillstein!
Sooooo, I can't put a pot on grill & make chili?!.... And don't get me started on the "guests" at the bbq Smh
Oh yeah right. Im gonna carry a grill with me on a hike and start a fire, inhale smoke and hike back after dumping my ashes.
Beans and franks…lol
"It's so hot"
Host is wearing a long sleeve shirt over another shirt 😂
I dunno, if it aint cathy mitchell i dont trust it
Why did they every allow Hazel to smoke in the house?
I had this and loved it.
So.......it’s still a grill
“ Just take a look at that “ 🤩
I want this. Better than the magic bullet.
I have one still in the box
Omg i haven't thought about this since I was a teenager lol
I used to want one of these so badly
@4:04 Uneven heating surface area - it's not a defect, it's a feature!
“”Just take a look at that!”
Hey it is the people from the magic bullet commercial.
I still have my red devil grill lol
