What do you use for a BBQ?

Just bought a 25' TT. First time owning a trailer. I plan to do a lot of grilling while camping but not sure what kind of grill I should buy. It can't be too big because storage is an issue. Do most people with this size of trailer just go with a small charcoal grill? That kind of seems like the easiest option for me.

If I do get a gas grill (and excuse me if this is a stupid question), can it be run off one of the two propane tanks that are currently connected to my trailer? Surely I don't need both tanks connected at the same time, so I could use one for the grill temporarily, or is that a terrible idea?

"Maytag fire pit"

is our solution.

Find an old washing machine drum, on many a weber round grill fit's perfect on the top, Now you have a firepit that doesn't smoke, a BBQ that works great. If you want to get fancy weld 3 nuts (1/2") on the bottom and use some 6-10" bolts as legs, get a round replacement charcoal grill basket and weld 3 nuts on the bottom and use about 8" legs to make a spot for charcoal when you grill. throw it in the back of the truck full of wood.

The holes in the side and bottom of the drum draw lots of air, it grills great, uses less wood than a regular firepit, puts out more heat and doesn't smoke.

When friends see and use ours, I tell them if they can fine a drum, I'll do the welding to make the stand etc. if they drop it by.

Between the fire pit, pie irons, tin foil meals and dutch oven, we can cook anything we desire. And the grandkids love the pie irons and doing tin foil dinners.

While I have a propane grill in the pass through the only time it ever gets used is if there is an open fire ban due to fire danger.
