Possible small BBQ for Class B!

[Traveler7]

Hi All!

Storage space is an issue in my small Class B and I found a BBQ on line that folds together and stores 1" thick!

It is the EcoQue. It looks like it could work really well if boondocking with access to small pieces of wood or you'd need to bring some charcoal. Anybody here seen one? The prices listed at the website are not reflected if you search the web, much less expensive, any where from $70-90. Still not cheap, but for a BBQ, Smoker, Grill combination it seems worth it to me.

I like to grill, but prefer wood to propane for flavor. Just thought I'd share this and maybe you all have seen others or have DIY solutions that are better!

Thanks!!!!

I have an EcoQue. It is well built and looks/feels like it will last for years, perhaps decades. Cooking with 9 briquettes seemed ridiculous, but it was hot enough to cook my food in the usual time compared to a chimney full of charcoal in my big round kettle grill. I bought the flat stainless griddle accessory as well and use it to cook smoky fish, with a handful of soaked wood chips thrown on top of the coals just before adding the fish... yum!

Space is at a premium in my Aliner. This grill is easy to fit in. Everything slides back into the included carry bag.

Wrap a handful of small mesquite chips in aluminum foil and poke several holes in the top of the foil. Place this where it gets indirect heat. Preheat the grill with this in it. Add food as soon as the wood starts to smoke.

I have been using one of THESE for the past two years. I recall paying $7 for it in small town America somewhere.

I thought I would use it once and throw it away but it works well enough to keep. I now have a stainless grate that fits on top of it.

I reposted this on the other BBQ for B's thread.
Thanks to everyone who commented!

I tried a couple small grills in our RV's over the years. I finally came to this conclusion. We're rarely in a spot more than a night anyway. Hardly worth the bother.

Coleman Fold & Go $55 at Amazon.
One of the best small travel grills out there.

Looks pretty compact, although the need for charcoal will require some additional storage. I was "raised on charcoal", but went with propane to avoid that, as well as dealing with hot coals while tailgating. Still, looks quite workable.
