Would welcome specific recommendations on YOUR favorite (preferably propane) BBQ/Grill....and why you like it.

Thanks!!! All suggestions welcome.

Wopachoc:

All of your thoughts are what have been running thru my mind. I see that they are still selling the 2000 version. Looking at the differences between the 2000 and 2200. (And, I see no discounts anywhere for these!! Trying not to get in a hurry, and waiting for the Black Friday sale suggestion !)

Thanks for ALL of the help!!!!

And to the others, I understand about the regulators. Some times the “connectors” simply become the issue. ALL helps/suggestions are welcomed!!

I see a couple have new Weber Q's. My fear is that quality has decreases. When people say they love their 10+ year old Weber Baby Q that doesnt help much for buying in 2020.

Good example is look how they ruined the smokey joe. The new version sucks.

Edit: that's not true all info is helpful. I would buy an older unit if I came across one that's new in the box. Being able to spot a good product is indeed helpful.

Where there different sizes of Weber baby Qs?

Currently it's the 1000 and 2000 series.
The 1200 and 2200 have the thermometer.
I'm hoping to find a deal on the 2200.

There is a larger 4000 i think. But a little big to be called a portable propane grill.

For the grill as they said it can be done , and safely. The problem is that usally the propane is allready regulated in a camper, so if you have 2 regulators they dont work. If your outside line is allready rwgulated, you can remove the one for the stove and itwill work fine. Likewise, if its a hp propane line you just need to find a way to connect it as is. Do not pull the regulater and hook it up to a hp propane source.

I really like the Vector Smoke Hollow. Low (200F) and slow smoking does wonders for beef tenderloin, chicken or ribs. For hamburgers, brats or breaded pork chops I use the regular burners but you do have to get use to cooking with the lid closed.

weber has a conversion to can to propane. it requires a hose and a fitting ..

"...the Q 2200 is not compatible with an RV propane system. They are only meant for use with disposable LP canisters or a standard 20 lb QCC1 style LP tank via Weber adapter hose 6501"

So, Weber fans, what say ye??

You just have to remove the pressure regulator on the grill. Super easy to do. Just google it, there are articles/videos on how to do it.

It’s really nice just plug it into the camper line and you don’t have to worry about those little cans.

Weber recommends against what we all do for liability reasons. You could remove the regulator and theoretically plug the Weber directly into a propane tank putting out high pressure gas. That could be dangerous. Weber recommends against any modification basically

I've been using a Smoke Hollow Vector for several years and like the smoke box feature for grilling. It will also do a fair job as a BBQ smoker. But, i also carry a Green Mountain Davy Crockett smoker, and we bust it out if we really want BBQ.

Weber Q, full size. works great. Good thing about Weber is parts are available (as if you will ever need them). Easy to bypass regulator to use with fiver LP.

Have a Baby Q for 12 years now, love it. Also have one for the house, does what I want it to.

[wowens79]

I’ve had a Weber Baby Q for 13-14 years now, and it had been awesome, and is all original parts. It is well worth the money.

The only other grill I’d consider for the camper would be a Big Green Egg Mini Max so I could smoke BBQ while camping. But they are heavy, and really expensive.

I have a version of the the Masterbuilt noted above called a Vector Smoke Hollow. Exact same unit, different name. It is a very good smoker and will do ribs and other long smoked products as good as any smoker. That unit is also very adjustable as far as heat goes. Has a separate smoker tray. Not really good for burgers or steaks...in my opinion. I also have a Weber Q1000 that is the regular staple cause it makes real good hamburgers, reasonable chicken. I have a griddle for mine and I do a ton of outdoor cooking with it. It is a little more versatile because of the griddle. The Weber is also a real well built unit. I travel with both of them.

This is what i have. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Coleman-Roadtrip-X-Cursion-Blue-20000-BTU-285-sq-in-Portable-Gas-Grill/1000229717
I had an old webber before the small one. That was good. I also am a big fan of the blackstones. I take both with me, we cook a lot. And check on black friday, lowes had them on sale. Unless you need it now.

Had a Webber Q now for 2 years, really like it so far. Removed the regulator (very simple) so that I could attach it to the propane connection on my fiver.
