We have the Traeger Jr. at home and absolutely love it. Our friends have taken theirs camping often. I prefer to use the Weber BabyQ on the road. As others have said it can easily be converted to use a bulk tank, RV hook-up or 1 lb disposable bottles.

Weber Q hands down. Typical Weber quality in a portable package

I have a Camp Chef Big Gas Grill with three 30,000 BTU burners. It is a well-made piece of equipment that works great when cooking for a large group, but it is overkill the rest of the time. The stove and grill top take up a lot of storage space in the rig (which I really don't have), and is a beast to handle. Eventually, I need to pick up something which is much easier to pick up.

We bought a GMG Davey Crocket in June, and it now lives in the truck under the tonoue cover. Love it. Ribs, pulled pork, burgers, chicken, etc, it's all better on the pellet grill!

Traeger Junior with the folding leg kit. More grill space then the PTG... What ever you choose make it a wood pellet grill. No messy charcoal to fool around with. A gasser takes too much babysitting to make sure things don't burn or dry out. A wood pellet grill cooks in the same manner as a convection oven, no direct flame. You can cook anything on it, even bacon. Don't try bacon on a charcoal or gasser grill without calling the fire department first. The added bonus is the flavor you get from using different flavored wood pellets, plus they all double as a smoker. I will never grill on anything else....

Anybody use a Weber Smokey Joe? Have had 2 of them & neither one has worked very well. Does cook a little better using lump charcoal as opposed to briquettes, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong. On the other hand I also have a Lodge cast iron hibachi & it does a great job.

When we upgraded our trailer this year; my "housewarming" gift to myself, was a Weber Q2200 with the folding cart stand.

It's awesome; and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

C'mon guys, a gas grill is just an oven; If you want to really grill something you need charcoal!!!!!!!!!

...and guilty as charged. Until 4 years ago, that's all I used. I hated handling the dirty charcoal grill, and could not picture doing it after switching to a TT, but I have recently been warming up to the idea of doing it again.

Weber Q, definately gets hot enough to sear and cook meat. Had ours for 3 years and only problem is the igniter went out. Don't bring one with when camping, have always liked cooking over campfire. Sometimes throw some briquettes into it and pull to the side to use dutch oven, but love the campfire. Oh yeh, and my Camp Chef oven....lol,

Have heard good and bad about the Coleman folding grills. How is the heat? Problems have been with it being too hot and not controllable.

Has anyone tried the Volcano Grill? Looks interesting and versatile.
Charcoal, gas, or wood fired. Also works with a dutch oven and a good line up of accessories. If your cooking for a crowd might be a bit small but looks adequate for up to 4.

I loved the idea of it, but when I mocked it up- I'd barely feed my family of 4 big eaters (you'd never know one is 11 and the other 3). And definitely wouldn't support us if we had company.

Good post and nice mock up I would have never thought of doing that. It would work great when it's just the wife and I. All our kids are older and have their own rigs for camping. Often times we travel in a group and take up 3 or 4 camp sites and will have up to 15 people in our group.
When that happens I get serious and pull my real smoker!

We use a Fox Outfitters Large fold up grill. It folds up very compactly and holds a full chimney of charcoal. Has more than enough room for a family of four.

That's one hell of a grill/smoker/awesomething! Yeah, the mockup was required- I kept trying to convince myself that it would work, but sadly- it was no good.

I loved the idea of 3 fuels. I like the convenience of propane. And the taste of charcoal and wood; but don't always have time to wait for them to heat up.

I was just camping in northern ca with 10 adults and 5 young kids. Cooked breakfast and dinners mostly on my green mountain davy crockett, worked great, everyone was once again impressed with the food it put out. I think at least 3 of our friends are now buying one. Cooked, bacon, biscuits, sausage, burgers, whole pheasants, bacon wrapped dove, elk fillets, veggies, and even made croutons on it! And all I needed was pellets, 12v plug, and pulled foil for cleanup.

Agree, had ours six years now and still looks brand new. Have an adapter hose and hooked to 25 lb propane tank. Two sided treated grills. I can boil corn on the cob on one side and grill chicken on the other. Easy to clean, just don't let grease and cooked food wait, clean after each use, you are going to face problems for cleaning if you think you are going to burn off the residue.
