As someone mentioned, we use our grill for all our outdoor cooking. Matter of fact, we use the inside stove as little as possible. Our roadtrip has a griddle and a coil to put pans on over a burner. And it surely doesn't take 15 minutes to heat up the gas grill.
One of the problems about camping with charcoal grills is the ashes. A gas grill I can turn off. A charcoal grill you have to let the coals burn out. Takes longer for it to cool off also. Then you got to deal with the dirty grill. I've just recently saw a campground with an actual ash can. I guess if they have a fire ring that you can dump the ashes in it.
It amazes me the variances in basic camp site equipment from park to park and state to state. Every year I take some children out for a 2 week camping trip at the same park. That camp has no built in fire pits; you rent them or bring your own. Also no park grills but they do have a really well thought out in ground concrete lined ash dump site in every loop. I wonder sometimes who did the park's design, LOL.
