I have this one and a Weber Q. (the small table top model). Great set up. Easily lasts more than a week of nightly grilling..

Easy to transport, easy to store and easy to find propane close by most anywhere we ever camp. (We have yet to camp on Mars, so not sure about availability there).

I do the same thing plus a Adapter hose Keeps my Q 220 cooking for more than 5 days of Grilling.
Both fit nicely in the rear cargo bay.

I have 2 of these and love them. 1 gallon (5 pound) tank.

I prefer this one to the one downtheroad posted because it is not as large in diameter.

Those Coleman 1 lb tanks do get expensive, but they sure are a lot handier if you move a lot.

Yes 1 pound tanks are headache even if you re-fill them yourself, they're still a pain.

What model of Q do you have?

Notice different BTU's for each. BTU size also reflects how much propane flow they need.

Our old 1000 worked off fine from the BBQ connection on RV. But very low temp. When we replaced we got a higher BTU model (the 2000 which burns a lot hotter) the regulated propane from RV tanks wouldn't keep up, so I started bring along 5 foot hose and 5 gallon propane bottle. Propane line to get made up was about $35.00

Not sorry we got bigger BTU model, puts a nice sear on steaks. Burns off just about 99% of everything off when done cooking. IR gun says 600 degrees. Also great for our combining RVing and canning fruit trips when in season. If I'd known about the regulated propane flow at the time I would got the another 1000 and kept working off the RV propane hose that goes thru a regulator. Even though temp was low. Instead of having to carry more stuff.

Old 1000 was great but meet its demise falling off tailgate. Must of landed just right to the crack top.

I just use a spare 20lber from home. But lugging it away from the campsite isn't much of a concern for me.

Another option...get one of the refill fittings for your 1lb tank so you can carry one of those for your trips away from camp?

I just took the 20 pound tank from the house when we went full time. Neighbor took my grill it was in better shape than his. Brought a hose from walmart for connection to my Weber baby Q.
