Is that q floating on air?

The good thing about our 13 year old Coleman Road Trip LX gas grill is that it can employ griddles, pan, or grill plates for the cooking surface.

So the Road Trip can function as an outdoor camp stove in addition to being a grill or griddle or both.

Steak on one side, eggs on the other side.

With two burners you can cook with indirect heat or direct heat up to 20,000 BTU.

Closed lid grilling is limited due to the height of the lids. So it is not great for big turkeys or hams but works fine on pork tenderloin or a small casserole.

Like all grills, cleanup is the negative aspect.

Griddles cook slower, are more affected by wind, and the clean up appears much simpler.

Bought a $19 gas grill at Walmart on the way to Alaska because of the fire bands. It lasted ten years. Bought a bigger one there to cook a chicken.

Now I have a Smokey Hollow table top. It will do any cooking or smoking I want.

A number of things migrated with us from the boating world to the RV world. One of them is the Magma grill. Perfect for 2. All kinds of things get cooked on it in addition to the staple chicken & steak. Pork loin, fish, even pizza, get done on it.

No picnic table? No problem, In addition to home made picnic table clamps which keep it out of the way, we can use the truck receiver hitch as seen here in a cow pasture at a bluegrass festival, or a fitting mounted in the corner of the rig basement slide out tray.

There is an interest to where you got your grill stand?

I built the grill mount myself so it’s a one off. The Jayco Senecas have a filler panel between the wheel well and compartment door with a double row of tubing in the framing, perfect and solid to mount to. I built a support bracket with a 1 1/4” receiver tube on it, then there is an insert that is adjustable in height by 8” and comes out the side that the support arm slides into bushings. Then the BBQ plate slides onto the top of the arm and there are locks top and bottom of the arm so you can lock it into any position. The left legs of the Weber slides into pockets and the right side legs fit between 2 tabs and pins lock the Weber to the plate. Works great And breaks down in minutes.

Which Coleman did you use?

We use the Traeger Ranger pellet grill. Best smoke taste you will ever experience on the road. Comes complete with griddle.

Thats some fine work right there.
We are going to get the Blackstone Grill/Griddle combo.

BMGM37, that is very impressive. Wish I had welding skills sometimes. If marketed I wonder what that would retail for?

My version of it is a 2"X2" block of wood with some holes drilled in it. Fits in the receiver hitch. The picnic table base is 2X4X6 screwed together & clamped to the picnic table seat with spring clamps.

We have used a Holland Companion Grill for 15 years and since it is all stainless steel it will probably last another 15 years.

I do not know if they are still made as I have not seen them in Camping World for a couple of years - maybe because they were 'spendy'

It will NOT CHAR a steak because the design guarantees you will not burn your food.

I've used the Broil King Porta-Chef 320 for two winters now:

https://broilkingbbq.com/grills/port...orta_chef_320/

3 burners, 426 sq. in. total cooking space, plenty of room for a full meal. The upper rack is very useful.

This grill can get really hot - 500 or 600 degrees if needed with all burners on.

The legs snap in place and come off easily & store under the grill. It fits in one of the side storage compartments of my motorhome.

I have an O Grill that works great. Nice, substantial grill grates. Fairly compact and sits upright light a suitcase for storage which works out well for me.

I recent acquired a 36" Blackstone griddle to replace my home gas grill. I like it so much that I'm seriously contemplating getting the portable unit for the RV. It's much easier to grill vegetables than monkeying with a basket on the conventional grill or dropping the vegetables through the grates.

Try the Napoleon Grill.It has two buners, and comes with a griddle as well. It works on the small bottles but for a few bucks it can be converted to your rv or a stand alone bottle.
It is a great grill.made in Canada soits at leastin North America.
