I did see that the thread originator put a link for the smoker. I was mainly asking if people used stands or tables to put the grill on while smoking. They can get hot especially with a longer smoke. I have a Pit Boss combo unit I use at home so I already like this brand.
 
I do have a small fold up table. Got it when we first got our RV. I’ll have to see if it fits. That Ozark
table looks like a good option.
 
Do you use a stand or something? I have stayed at sites that do not allow their picnic tables to be used with table top grills/smokers. Ive seen these can get very hot and have actually burned large holes in poly picnic tables. Also which model Pit Boss please?
I have a foldable outdoor kitchen from Cabellas and love it. I keep the Pit Boss smoker on the one end and the Blackstone on the other. Easy to fold up too.

I haven’t tried a griddle yet but I hear they are all the rage these days. Nice pics I’ll have to check out that table from Cabellas.
 
@Leons_Bad_Side I use this one. Really like it for the smoker.
 
I use a Asmoke pellet grill works great. check out there website
 
We carry a Pit Boss table top smoker. Great little unit. And always get people coming over asking what smells so good! Anyone else do smoking while camping?
I have a Traeger Ranger I carry occasionally. Love to have it at times but it’s a bit heavy and my storage isn’t great in my new rig. Not sure how much I’ll carry it anymore but love anything cooked on it. Hopeful I can spend some time this winter reworking the storage bay walls to open up more storage space.

I know what you mean about the weight. These are not very light!
