What Grill Do You Use? (need recommendations!)

TNF Solitude, you will have to decide to remove regulator on Q2000 or leave it intact, then you will have to break propane line on regulated side or unregulated side and insert tee and then ad line to BBQ.

If using the spare tank (which, to my knowledge, is not regulated), there is no need to mess with the regulator on the Q. Our Solitude has the older style system which has three 20lb bottles (2 in the left compartment for the main supply to the trailer and a spare on the right side) vs the newer version of two 30lb bottles. I can't speak to the type of setup the Reflection has. Maybe it's different than the Solitude.
 
Lump is the way to go. That and a small Big Green Egg. Fits in the basement and travels great. I am looking at the new Mini-Max so I can retire the small from traveling and sit it next to the large at home.

I've drooled over the BGE for years. (for the back yard) How heavy is that to take along?
And I agree , lump is much better tasting than briquettes. Quite often I'll use wood in the grill. Plus
no starter fluids they smell and taste bad. A chimney starter is all we use to start the grill.

Ours is the older model also, I wasn't aware GD had changed to the 2 30#'s as opposed to what we've got. Regarding the hose, it looks like what I need and the limiting factor is how close the picnic table is to the propane compartment. Thanks for the lead.
 
I am a charcoal guy too. We have a jumbo Joe as well after cooking dinner you just add wood for a campfire. When your ready to retire for the evening just put the lid on it. We have a traeger at home and love it.
 
Hope Im not reviving the dead here but has anyone used the grill that comes with the RV that mounts on the swing arm near the outdoor kitchen?
 
Justin. We had that attached grill on our 323 BHA, but the 357 doesn't come with a grill, not sure why, hence the reason we were now in the market to purchase a new one. The grill that came with the 323 was OK, didn't seem to get very hot. The fact that it was attached was both a positive and a negative. It's nice now to have the flexibility of a non-fixed grill. We ended up going with the Coleman Roadtrip model and love it!
 
Thanks for the response. Im fixed position now as a seasonal until my kids fly the coop. We don't get any road time availability mostly due to my daughters sports schedule that never ends. Sad to say I actually had to force her to drop one as it was just too much. She chose to drop soccer that she had the most time into. ATM its Lacrosse and Volley Ball. Example of schedule....Yesterday she had a HS game in the rain, rush home, get her changed and fed then off to Elite VB practice and got her home at 1030 PM. Like I said I had to make her drop one because it was even worse than that but the biggest reason and she was too narrow minded to see it is her schedule had become the the entire family's schedule. Its still to much and this is the only thing the wife and I don't see eye to eye on. I had to schedule my PDI on Saturday late in the day to accommodate a Lacrosse game. My agreement was one sport at a time but I guess 2 beats 3 at a time which is precisely what he had this time of the year before. The good part, she is so good that she was already getting contacted by college recruiters in her Freshman year of HS and got her varsity letter in Lacrosse and Volleyball in her freshman year which is pretty much unprecedented. In her Sophomore year now.

Anyhow to get to the point, I'm still using my monster Jennair grill at the seasonal site.
 
We got the gas grill from Grand Design. The mount is on the trailer's rear bumper and swings out around the corner of my trailer. The grill plugs into the propane system on the the trailer with a quick connect.

The grill's in our outdoor kitchen area already equipped with sink, microwave, 2 eye propane burner and fridge. When the weather's good, we'll seldom cook inside.
 
Well i have to let you all know about the best way to cook on out side your RV we cook on the camp fire or our https://www.volcanogrills.com/ which will work with Propane or Charcoal we use this for a quick BBQ after a days drive or Dutch oven cook off!

good cooking

I have a mini max Green Egg. It is the way to go!! I have a large Big Green Egg at the house. This little dude does just great for us on the road, gonna try a pork shoulder on it soon for pulled pork sandwiches.
 
Um, yeah. I am good friends with the local Green Egg dealer, when he heard these were coming out he let me know, because I had thought about buying a small from him. I told him to pre-order me one and of course he didnt know the price yet. He called me one day and let me know they were in. I went in to get it and needless to say, I was a little shocked when he told me they were 599. My large didnt cost that much more for way more grilling space! I think they knew RVers would sucker for it since they would be so convienent.
 
For that price the grill surface had better be gold plated.

I have. Friend that is a BGE fanboy who swore nothing could cook anything better. We had a blind baby back rib challenge. His BGE vs my propane fired smoke hollow vertical smoker his large BGE was only able to fit 3 racks stuffed horizontally while mine fit 20 with ease.

18 adults in a blind taste test one rib of each. 17 chose the smoke hollow ribs and only his girl friend who knew his style chose those cooked on the BGE. After we all pigged out as I had plenty of ribs to go around. In the end it doesn't have as much to do with what it was cooked on as it does prep, seasonings and cooking style. I've done some of my best cooking on an old grate balanced on rocks over an open fire. Cost of grate, free.

I just can't justify spending that much on a single grill that doesn't even hold much. When comparing other products to the large with a table I can buy and entire stainless outdoor kitchen with multiple side burners, 1000 sq inches of cooking space, infrared burners, rotisserie, sink and 6 cuft refer built in.
 
Let's see...rear trailer hitch on the GD supports 300 lbs...my Treager weighs a little over 200 lbs... There's an AC outlet in the outdoor entertainment center. I think I'm on to something. :cool:
 
We use the Weber Q2000 and love it. We also take our "Smokey Joe" along (small Weber charcoal grill) if we want to take the time to make the perfect steaks. You can't go wrong with a Weber. Strong, durable, cook evenly, easy to clean, great customer service (when needed, which is rarely). I also got the cast iron griddle that replaces one side of the grills so I can make bacon and eggs in the morning. Even a batch of pancakes if I'm feeling crazy.
Right now, I just use the small green canisters but will eventually remove the regulator so I can connect directly to our 308BHTS.
As for the Smokey Joe, sometimes you just need charcoal for the perfect steak. No gas grill can come close!

I've heard that a lot and disproved it many times as well. Any top tier steakhouse will disagree too as they all cook on gas and electric, some don't even use a grill but use a frypan and a broiler. Single biggest key to a perfect steak starts the moment the calf is born and goes though to the point the meat is procured.

;) The best steak house's in TN is "The Alamo" in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.They only grill over a "Hickory" fire! You won't ever know the difference until you try one of their 2" thick filets! I am a "unofficial" steak connoisseur! I have tried them all over the US and many still use the hickory fired grill. Especially down here in the South and the Southwest. Even been to "Ruth's Chris" in Seattle! IMHO you just can't beat that Hickory smell and taste. You can just drive by one and smell that hickory smoke coming out of that chimney! Now you done it, I want a steak all of a sudden. I guess I'll have to wait till the Anchor Down get together week after next so I can go to "The Alamo!" Remember The Alamo! :cool:
 
That's Ruth's Chris Steak House. But you're right on the wood. Absolutely Nothing beats smokin' or grillin' on hickory. Nothin'. ?
