What do you guys use for a BBQ?

Just found out that my Coleman Road Trip grill won't fit through the door to the only outside storage compartment on our Lance 811. We had a few portable grills before the Coleman that wouldn't put out enough BTUs to cook anything besides a hot dog.

Anybody use those grills that attach to the side of the camper? Looking for ideas.

If you are a weekend warrior, carrying a grill of some sort might make sense. I was a full timer for a couple of years and now typically take trips of several months. With full time or extended travel over different seasons, space becomes important.

At one time I tried to use a grill with a small bag of charcoal. That pushed available space and was really messy.

I kept the wire grilling surface which I can use on campground grills or fireplaces. I also have folding marshmellow/hot dog cooking forks. Cooking over an open fire can be a lot of fun with added flavor. I can recommend both for anyone who has limited space. I won't use a propane grill even at home. I am old fashioned enough to stick with my Weber kettle charcoal grill.

I like the smoke flavor so use the Weber Smokey Joe.

Crabby, we used to do the same thing on the beach, I have a Coleman charcoal BBQ that converts into a firepit. After you grill dinner you add the sides and let the coals start the logs. We used the Road Trip grill for quick lunches and started the charcoal grill in the evenings.

That was back when I had a Suburban with tons of room in the back for all of the above plus a 150-qt cooler, firewood, etc., etc. and a 34' TT with loads of storage.

I'm done setting up a small village and entertaining 12 people at the trailer. Now just the DW and me, and equipment will be a tabletop grill, folding table and 2 lawn chairs. We plan to do more traveling and less camping with this rig.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions, I found this Road Trip tabletop:

Weber Q for us, but a great modification that I just did was to drill out the regulator nozzle using a 1/16 bit (based on mods posted elsewhere on the Internet). Greatly increased the heating capacity, now able to go to 550-600 degrees in a few minutes, whereas before it was a struggle to achieve 500 and maintain.

Volcano Grill, and Lodge cast iron griddle for cooking on campfire.

We start a campfire with charcoal, then throw a grill on top for grilling. We do carry a road trip but hardly use it. Ive only BBQ once over the road and brought my webber smoker. Uses charcoal and I throw in a lump of wood for my flavor.

I got rid of my Roadtrip for a Weber Q 1200. You might want to consider a
17" Blackstone Griddle as well

Baby weber

Cheap, and plenty big enough for the two of us. And works very well.

We actually just switched to a blackstone griddle. Looked for a few years for a new grill that fit in the hatch we had and nothing did. Then discovered the blackstone and it fit! Definatly a different cooking style then a grill, but it has lots of heat output. Steaks on the blackstone are amazing, sure gives a great sear!

Please don't transport firewood across state lines. In many states it is illegal.

Weber Go-Anywhere charcoal grill. Smallest grill I could find.
