Propane Grill Frustration!!!!

[Weezer]

Here's one picture of the Grill2Go by Char Broil;

Char-Broil Grill2Go X200 - Model 12401734

I'm sure you can find more if you just google Grill2Go pictures.

(shrug)

We've used ours several times now, and have grilled as much as six ribeyes and a couple of sirloid strips, with room to spare.

With your reservations, it's probably best if you go to a store that sells this model and get an up-close-and-personal touchy feely look-see.

No one can give you a guarantee that everything you want to grill will fit on any given model. The size of steaks, ribs and veggies vary far too much for that.

I also vote for the Weber Q120...we love this grill. Have it hooked up to an 11lb bottle, located in storage bin and use a 12 foot extension hose.

Life is good....

We have a Weber Q220 and love it. That said it is a little heavy at 45lbs and cumbersome. Our TT has a rear storage compartment just big enough to handle the Q220 and right next to where I typically setup the BBQ so it works perfectly for us. If I was moving the Q back and forth from the truck bed I might opt to get the Q120 which comes in at 35lbs.

Home Depot typically has a good display set-up with multiple models of the Weber Q. If you're interested in the Weber Q this would be a good place to take a look at the different models and see for yourself how much grill space there is, how heavy they are and how big. Think of where it will be going while you're travelling either in the TT or in the truck bed. It might help to get some measurements if you think the fit might be tight.

Note: I find that when cooking on a cast iron grill like the Weber Qs to prevent sticking you need to have the grill good and hot. The Weber Q220 & Q120 both come with built in thermostats so you'll have a better idea if the grills ready.

Good luck

I have the Q220 ........... you can't go wrong !!!!

We replaced our old grill a couple of months ago with a Weber Q220. We've only used it a couple of times but really like it so far.

I vote for camp chef. Look at their line up. Up to 3 30k btu burners. You can get bbq box, griddle or a pizza maker. Awesome.

Another vote for the Q. I had one shipped to me while I lived in China; used it as our only grill almost daily. Now I use it only for camping (Genesis is main grill). Our last Weber was replaced after 16 years of outdoor use (frame was starting to fail). Q is set up to run off our main TT tank.

I have not pulled the trigger on a nicer grill for our trailer because I just don't see anything I like. I am concerned about the size of both the Grill2Go and Q100 as I like to do baked potatoes, corn on the cob, etc on the grill as well. I want something large enough to fit a rack of ribs plus some veggies on at the same time.

Below are some pictures of the Char-Broil TRU Infrared Grill2Go X200 Grill. It actually has more grilling surface area than the Q100 or Q120 and fits in an overall smaller area (in every dimension). It's lid also doesn't slope down at the edges. A rack of ribs will fit but not much room is left. It also costs nearly half the price of a Weber Q120.

Problems with my X200 is it is too hot on low (very common complaint), and since the regulator is built into the control valve it cannot be connected to the low pressure quick connect on our trailer. You may want to try the Q200 or Q220 if you need more room and/or want to connect it to the propane on your trailer.

We've turned our Weber 220 into our patio grill. I just got fed up of having to separate the lid from the base to get it into our rig's stow-bins, which are about 3/4" too shallow. It replaces a behemoth 4-burner Char-Broil that really struggled to get over 450 degrees.

We bought a Q100 for the RV. I'd have preferred a Q120 (for the thermometer in the lid) but CW didn't have any.

I like to BBQ and do a lot of Tri tip with all the trimmings and the like so the Camp Chef two burner stove with the deluxe box works awesome. It is a great combination and they have lots of options to cover your desired needs. But, it is not for the occasional BBQ user. It is a stand alone BBQ and the legs stow away when not in use it is on the heavy side and takes up so room.

And it is awesome. I have the 3 burner version.

Propane is a thing of the past....Switch to either a Traeger PTG or Traeger Junior grill. They burn wood pellets, mesquite, hickory, oak and many other types of pellets. You get no flavor from gas, but you get a ton of flavor from using wood pellets. I use a Traeger Junior with a tailgating kit installed on it for my camp grilling. Good thing about them is they double as a smoker too. I have made a lot of campground friends when cooking with mine while camping.

I'll post a few pics this evening or over the weekend...

[Campster]

This is the Traeger Jr. I use while camping...Upper...smoking a tri-tip, middle...with lid closed, bottom...grilling some bacon. Don't try the bacon on a gas grill unless the fire department is close by. These work just the same as a convection oven, no direct flame. There is a drip pan that catches all the grease and directs it into the can on the right side. The pellet hopper is on the left side along with the digital controller which can be set to various temps along with the smoke setting. I have a much larger one I use at home. I have been using pellet grills for about the last seven years..I hate eating off gas grills, just not the same and no messy charcoal to mess with. Just turn the pellet grill on and in about 3-4 minutes it is started and ready to go. Very easy to use. Check them them out...

[mike618]

Thanks for the pics Campster, I've never seen one with the tailgate kit before. Looks great.

I like the idea of hanging it on the camper like the cheap one that came with it. Do you know if webber or anyone else makes a grill to replace it? Once I get to the CG and get set up I just leave it their til we break camp.

[ryand]

I too vote for any Weber product....I am on my second Weber Q. The first one was the main grill at our condo before we got married and got use 3-5 times a week for at least 6 years.

Me too Glenn, when and if the el cheapo bites the dust, I will probably get the SS replacement that hangs on the side.
