Preferred portable grill

I'm wondering what JOF members are using. Cooking for just wifey and I so doesn't have to be very big but I'm very particular about regulating temps. I've been looking at a table top Cuisinart. Any suggestions?

A few months ago we bought a Weber Q1000 and did the mod to connect it to the trailer's propane system. Haven't look back since; it's a nice grill, well built, consistent heat.

I have the Weber Q 200 with mods to use trailer's quick connect. Just the right size for the 2 of us. If I had to replace my sticks and brick grill, it would be a Weber Q.

Weber Baby Q! I have have the Coleman Road Trip and it is the worst grill I ever used. I can not wait to get rid of it once the season is over.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just ordered the Q1000. Little more than what I wanted to spend but the grease catch design was the hook. Plus 4.5 review stars on Amazon.

Coleman Versatility

I know you already bought, so this is for the benefit of others who might be in the market.

I am using the Coleman XL because of it's versatility. It of course functions as a BBQ. But I also have two ring style stove top "burners" so I can put a pot on the grill. I also have a half size and full size Griddle which can replace the two BBQ Grills. I love the full size griddle when I am cooking up a pound of bacon and eggs or a batch of Chocolate chip pancakes. The Grills also come out in two pieces so I can mix and match cooking components if I want, BBQing steaks on one side while boiling a pot for corn on the cob on the other side.

Also on the positive side, I have a wheeled bag that the grill fits in so I can put it away "Cleanly" in the hold and it has it's own stand so I can place it away from my siding... I am really no a fan of hanging a BBQ on the side of your fiberglass rig.

There are two downsides to the Coleman... It is big and all of those extras I like so much need to be stored as well, I use a long skinny Tupperware bin. The bin doubles as a great place to wash those grills and griddles rather then scratching up the sinks. The other downside is the proprietary Coleman regulator which is not set up for connection to your trailers regulated propane line. Fortunately for about $12 in parts and a helpful Youtube video I was able to rectify that and now can safely connect to my Rigs propane tank.

I just scrapped 2 grills, a RVQ and a small cheap Walmart grill, $20. a one season wonder for a Weber 1200. So far it is great and I am going to mod it so I can use a bottle/tank or the already regulated QC on the rig.

I still carry a Holland Companion also, its great for slow cooking and baking.

X2 on the Q200. Weber grills are great.

If you want do it the the old fashioned way and cook over the fire, I recommend the Mountain Man Grill. Absolutely awesome to cook over the fire. Built like a tank. Used it for a the first time at Tahquemenon falls SP this summer and cooked everything over the fire. Bacon, pancakes, eggs, dogs, burgers, pork tenderloin, Pike, b-fast sausage, stir fried veggies, canned corn/beans (put the cans right on the grate). Tons of fun, but sometimes the grill is better for those 1 night stops and when you are tight for time and can't get a cooking fire going in time.

We have the Weber Q2200. Yeah it was pricey at $249. I love the exclusive red color that's only sold at Ace Hardware.

Had out $30 portable gas grill from WM for 6 yrs now and not one prob. If I did have any issues I'd just chunk it and get a other one. I'm not one to drop $200 on a mini grill though.

I've been using a camp chef pro90 for about 8 years now and still am glad I threw down the coin for it! I have both a grill box and a grittle for it to handle all my cooking needs. Heck I don't think I could live without anymore.

We have the Expedition 3x with the big griddle, premium grill box and pizza oven. I'll be using it with my RV once the hose that connects the Camp Chef to the RV quick connect comes in.

That being said, it takes almost no wind at all to blow out the flames. You either have enough heat to melt medal or none at all because the flames get blown out. It requires constant monitoring. More than once I've gone out to check on food to find out that the flames are out, food is cold, and gas is leaking.

I bought a couple flame tamers and that's helped a bit. But the lack of hear variation is a real problem.

@ Tylersdad, wow that is interesting that you have problems with yours blowing out. The only time I've had any issues with my burners blowing out is if I had it set on lowest setting and the entire grill was uncovered during stiff winds. I typically keep all three burners covers while in use. My grill box is a 2 burner model and the griddle is also a 2 burner type. So depending on what I need I shift them left to right for full use and keep the burners covered. I find this keeps them from blowing out and traps all the heat possible down below everything.

I've had a Weber Q200 for about 5 years. I love that thing. We've used it camping tons of times, plus tailgating and boating. It has the cast iron grate which is great for searing meat. Very nice. It was expensive, but it's lasted without problems. I've got adapters set up to use it off a 20lb propane bottle or the low pressure port on the trailer.
I also have a big Weber grill on my deck for 10 years and it's been great. I have had a few issues with igniters and covers, but each call to Weber's customer service has been quickly resolved by an actual American human who knew the answers to my questions. 3 out of the four times they sent me the replacement parts at no charge! Seriously good customer service.
Can you tell I'm a Weber fan?

+1 for the Weber. Got it as a birthday gift a couple years ago. We got the 100 series (before they added a 0 to the model numbers and a bunch of $$$ to the price) and it's great for up to 4 people easy. I love it so much, I bought a big Weber for the Sticks & Bricks home!

Have not had the need to do the QC mod for it yet because I still have a bunch of the little cans to go through, but I'll do it some day.

Weber Q220 with mods to use with larger propane tanks. I have a one gallon tank, which I like to put on the seat of a picnic table with the grill on top of the picnic table at one end.

The good thing about Q grills is that they have cast grates which provide better cooking properties than aluminium.
