Portable Propane Grills

We removed the regulator from the on/off control valve. The connector/adapter to the valve goes from 1/8 NPT to 1/4 NPT for the male QD. I also have a second hose with a QD on one end and a regulator on the other end when connecting to the 20# bottle at home or at a friend's.

As far as the Weber stand, we use one at home, but don't bring it on the trailer. It will accomodate both sizes of Q. There was only a 100 and a 200 when we bought ours. We actually have both sizes, and I bring the larger with the trailer, since we host dinners with friends while traveling.

My first trailer came with a low pressure grill and we had a connection point on the trailer for a quick connect. 2nd trailer came with a low pressure stove. Ordered a few parts and made a T to connect both the stove and the grill. When the grill died, we went with the Coleman as I was able to add one connection to the grill and use the quick connect from the previous grill. It turned out easy and set up is real quick.

I like the Coleman that has the one burner stove and the grill (it's red and black), if you order it from the Walmart website you can pick it up same day at the store sometime saving as much as $30 form the shelf price. We often cook for 3 adults and 3 kids on ours, great little stove, ours is 5 years old and has taken a beating but keeps on preforming

For those that have the Coleman Road Trip......can you get the whole thing in the Coleman storage bag?
I've flipped it, I've turned it, I've cussed it, I've cussed myself, and still have to take the wheel assembly off to fit it in the case.

Camping World sells the "Sidekick" which works off the rv propane and #1 propane bottle.

We looked at several and decided on the Weber Q grill 2200. I like the top being taller so you can cook a turkey breast or a roast besides burgers and steaks.

I do not have a bag for mine. I close it up and the last thing I do is roll it inside the door. First thing we do when we pull in is roll it out. Just have to be sure I empty the grease catcher before putting it in.

Weber Q is the only one I have found that will really sear meat. The rest just aren't hot enough. Others are fine depending on what you want to do with it.

Hmmm. Doesn't look like I ever said what I did end up with.

Went with the Napoleon. It has 2 burners and controls so I can do 2 things at once. Otherwise would have gone for the Weber I think. It is certainly a lot better than the garbage I had, even after trying all the mods I could.

We will be looking at the Weber Q when our current portable dies.

Wife just came in with a Coleman Road Trip that she won...can't beat the price "free" so we'll try it out this weekend. Plastic latch lever was cracked so I'll try to Gorilla glue it together and hope it will work. Oldest grandson loves hamburgers so I'm sure it will get a workout.
