need good grill

We got a cheap 2-burner propane SS one at Sams 10 years ago, use it extensively. Shows that it's been used but looks pretty good for all the use it's had. Usually grill & cook over the grate but it came with a full-size griddle, also SS, great for breakfast fixing.

I too have an old Weber Q at home, but while searching for a replacement, I came across the Blackstone 17'' Table Top Griddle. Every review I've read has been highly complementary, and they all seem to mention how easy clean up is.

I think I've found our next propane grill for the camper.

If my Weber Q 2000 ever dies, I will replace it with exactly the same model. I can't think of a higher recommendation than that. (I did remove the regulator from the grill and replaced it with a propane quick connect fitting. I can now run the Weber Q directly from my trailer's low pressure propane outlet. I bought a propane hose with a propane quick connect on one end, and a regulator on the other end that connects to a 20# propane bottle. Now I can run my Weber Q either from the trailer or a bulk bottle. I even put a propane disconnect on the regulator that I took off the Weber Q so I can still use the disposable bottles too. :))

Looked at a Webber Q. well over priced for the size, and heat it puts out. We found a stainless steel double burner at Sam's Club. 20000 btu, uses a 20lb tank. $99.00. We really like it. Does a great job.

The reason the Weber Q cooks so well and so evenly is that its grates are cast iron and heavy. The cast iron heats extremely evenly. A cheap lightweight grill will not cook nearly as well, nor last nearly as long, as a quality, heavily built grill. Quality costs. That is why I tow an Airstream.

Another vote for the Weber Q

Got ours on clearance at Sears with a stand for $125. Couldn't turn that down.

Another thing about the Weber is you can find parts very easy.

Agree on the Weber. After years of going cheap and having break downs with them, we finally gave in and paid for a Weber with the thermometer. It was not cheap, but boy has it been great and reliable.

Used to have a Coleman Roadtrip. What a stupid POS! Too many design flaws plus cheap construction. However, it's large surface area is excellent. Has interchangeable grates and you can do pancakes, use pots and grill. It is much wider than a Weber and could be harder to get into some storage bays or pass-throughs. I had a quick look at a Roadtrip recently and it looks like they made have made some improvements to it.

We dumped the Coleman on CL and picked up a brand new Weber Q on CL for about 1/3 the going retail price and even made some $$ in the process. Very well made and does an excellent job of grilling meat - nice 'n juicy and evenly cooked. It's taller than the Coleman and I have to take the lid on/off every time to get in /out of our pass-through - easy to do. The surface area is much smaller than the Coleman and cannot do pancakes, use pots or use a frying pan. A solid 1/2 grate is available but can only use it on one side (due to air flow) plus it has a rough surface. The Weber seems a little more susceptible to wind.

Since the Weber is no good for boiling things in a pot or for a frying pan, I bought a single burner propane unit. It also plugs into the quick-connect. Works fantastic and easily does a large pot full of corn on the cob quickly.

Even though we have a fancy outdoor BBQ on the patio at home, occasionly we use the Weber Q when we want ribs or steaks cooked to perfection. It's that good!!

In both the Roadtrip and Weber Q, I removed the regulators so we can plug into the propane quick-connect under the TT. This is very handy and an easy mod to do. We never cook inside and being able to get the Weber set up quickly really helps.

I got one of these. I liked it so much I threw away my old Weber at home and I move this from home to the RV.

The center section of the grill comes out and you can get accessories like a wok, fish basket or a pizza pan.

Thanks for the info. Q series it will be.

Another vote for Weber. 6 years and going strong.
