Perfect BBQ for a B

doesn't use charcoal or lighter fuel

First thing I see on the website is charcoal and gelled lighter fluid....and $250 ?

I don't think that's the one for me.

we already own a little weber...but i don't wanna bother with charcoal and disposing of hot stuff.

we have gas inside the B and a butane cassette feu that we use outside.

On Amazon they're about $250, a little pricey for me at this time. But watched a video on grilling with one and it is pretty neat and easy to use, the non-smoking feature is good especially in a crowded CG as some people are smoke sensitive whether it's a campfire, BBQ, or whatever. Unit looked like if was easy and simple to clean. For now, I'll just stick with disposable grills that you can usually purchase for about $5 on sale, use it then throw away

Yes, should have mentioned - I got it for the Show price of $100.00 and she included gel and bamboo charcoals. Something to save up for or see if you can get at a local RV show.

It looks very nice Lynn - thanks for sharing. I was leaning towards the Volcano 3, but will have to look in to this one a bit more before deciding.

As an aside for those that mentioned it being somewhat spendy, I believe that is 249 Aussie dollars. (About $194 USD)

Hey Lynn,
I believe you about the unit being smokeless because you didn't use any charcoal nor lighter gel. I was wondering what your heat source was? The 4 AA batteries must've really have the fan spinning fast enough to create a lot of air turbulence/heat. What's your secret?

Seriously, at $249.95/unit, I'll have to stick to my ole George Foreman grill which I can cook foods just as fast and run it off of my inverter or the generator.

That's a great size for the B, Lynn. We generally cook on the open fire, but bought this Coleman RoadTrip Party Grill as a back up for when the weather is bad. It's great for two people and converts to a single burner campstove for heating coffee (or soup!). An inexpensive alternative if you only use it occasionally like we do.

Price aside, I wouldn't go with charcoal in a B, since that takes valuable storage, too. While I was "raised on charcoal", propane does get you going faster & you don't have to wait for embers to cool or find a place to dispose of them. We went with the Coleman Insta Start Portable Grill, but there are other relatively compact options. If willing to make the trade-off for charcoal, the OP's selection looks pretty good.

We really like our Magma

x2, they do look cute however, for $250/350 or even $100 not worth it.
and I agree, dragging a bag of charcoal along in a B would suck.

Nice sized and I like the blower fan idea. It is very expensive.
