What portable BBQ do people have

[GMcKenzie]

Looking to replace my crappy portable BBQ. It's a MasterChef or Char-Buster or some such thing that Canadian Tire sells. Brand name changes on it depending on the year.
It's this one http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/po...l#.UzXdtIVVT_Y

Trouble is, it is a really crappy BBQwith hot/cold spots, not really a proper grill, does not do steaks properly and I'm tired of it. The only good thing is it fits in my passthrough storage.

I'm looking for a portable, with it's own stand, double burner that will fit in the same storage space.

Has anyone got a good idea?

Thanks

I have the Coleman RoadTrip Grill LXE. I use it all the time at Nascar races to feed 8 - 10 people. Works off little propane bottles or has an adaptor for a 20/30 lb bottle. I just run it off the small bottles. 2 bottles will usually do 2 meals. Typically burgers, dogs, chicken, brats, steaks sometimes, ect.

Folds up pretty flat usually would ride in the bed of the truck when I had my TT.

I think that you'll find that the Weber line of smaller portables is very popular with many of our members - including me. We have the "Baby Q" - without a stand - which is sold as a separate and optional item. The next Weber up from the Baby has a slightly larger cooking area and folding side shelves.

It has a heavy grill which we have found doesn't have hot/cold spots -- cooks very evenly.

I'd recommend a Weber and would buy another one whenever this one packs it in. Somehow, I think we'll be using the Weber for a long, long time.

Do you store the Weber in your unit? I'm trying to keep the amount of stuff I have to take in the truck to a minimum so I don't have to unpack much when I get home.

Yes, we store ours in the front storage compartment - right behind our 5th wheel pin box. As I mentioned, we don't have a stand which takes up additional and hard-to-come-by storage space.

I second the Weber Q grills. We have a Baby Q and a larger Q200. They will both fit on the optional folding cart. The Baby Q has a model with fold out shelves which come in very handy. They are built to last and do a nice job of cooking. Parts support is very good from Weber.

I purchased the webber Q 220, it has the taller lid for the roasting of larger items like a full chicken. The problem is the 220 lid is to tall to fit In the front storage compartment. I contacted webber and I can get the 200 lid for $50 some dollars. I think the 100 series works the same way.

But I do love this grill, I even use it at home, in fact it's using my home grill as a grill stand right now.

I have the coleman roadtrip. Converts in any combination from grill to griddle to stove and lies flat for storage. It's large enough to feed everyone at one time.

Another vote for the Webber Q series, really like it.
It is a little too tall to fit through the door with the lid on but I just drilled out the hinge holes on the lid and body a little bit and used pins and keys for the hinge. Simple matter to set the Q in the pass through and set the lid in place then insert pins no big deal.

The BBQ that "came with " our new Cougar went to the dump, where it belongs, after the first attempted use.

We have 2 Weber-Q 200 grills. One for the RV and one for the stick-n-brick. I removed the regulator on the rv grill and run a hose from the aux propane outlet. Great set up, great grills. Will last forever and cook well. Easy to clean. They are a bit heavy and do take a bit of storage space.

I prefer charcoal grilling, I cut the legs off my grill so I can put it on the table or the camp grill

[SLIMSHADIE]

I have the stainless olympian, used 1 time in 4 years. Not that I can say its a good/bad grill but prefer cooking over the fire.



Truly portable

I was wondering if you had any pictures of the modifications or a parts list of what you needed to use the Weber-Q with the propane outlet.

First, I bought this hose kit with quick connect from Lowes: http://m.lowes.com/pd/Grill-Care-Com...s-Hose/4165981. Then I purchased a 3/8" x 1/4" steel bushing and 1/4" x 1" pipe nipple (black iron) from plumbing aisle.
The quick connect fitting end of the hose connects to the quick connect on the rear of my trailer. I removed the regulator from the Weber and connectedthe threaded end of the hose with bushing and nipple to the Weber gas valve (where the former regulator threaded into). Used pipe dope at all threads. Good to go.
Sorry no photos.

We bought a Coleman Roadtrip last year and don't like it. It's heavy and awkward to transport. It does work fine once it's setup. We much prefer the RVQ grill that came with our pop up. It was light weight and would hang on an outside mount on the side of the trailer and had a built in gas line
. We had it for 7 years and cooked everything on it. It still worked good when we sold the trailer and was tempted to keep it.

I'll chime in and vote for the Weber Q100 also. We like ours, it fits in the forward pass through and the cart folds for easy storage also.

mr. ram189 i too have a weber Q it is an older one with one burner works great it with the stand fit in the front copartment of the 5er with room for some chairs and a 1/4 scale rc sprint car

[BirchyBoy]

I received my Q1200 this weekend and promptly cooked some brats. Yum! Also, it will fit in the rear storage of my Passport without removing the top cover. Yay!

I loaded mine in this weekend with some chairs, blocks, ect. Plenty of room for stuff in there if organized correctly

We use the Aussie gas grill that came with our Passport. It works great, and it even came with a mounting bracket to the rear bumper of the TT.
