Anyone use a bumper mount grill?

A grill setting on a picnic table or other type of stand is not a bad thing when you consider the possibility of a grease fire ,it does happen.

Yes, I like the stand idea. We've done picnic table but it takes up a bunch of room and gets cluttered with all the food prep all around it.

Also, we usually put up a canopy over the table and the smoke gets trapped under it.

If I don't have another option (like a picnic table or something similar), I pull out and set up this little table. It takes about a minute at most to set up or take down, and when stored takes up about as much room as a collapsible chair.

our new travel trailer came with the swing out grill on the rear bumper

not sure how much use i will get out of that but i will find out

i will treat it like i do the weber gas grill at home,all grease gets removed after each use and wiped down too(im anal about keeping things in like new condition ;) )

If you get the bumper mount grill get the one that the grill can stay on the bumper during travel. If you cook a lot outside and find the two burners are to small look at the Big Gas Grill 3 that comes with the grill attachment. I had problem getting two pans on the two burner stove and was looking for a better grill option and went this route about 5 years ago. I also got the griddle for it.

All of the bumper mount grills I've seen have been overpriced and crappy grills. I've got a Weber Q that is great, and I can connect it to my gas line on my camper. I've got a small table it sits on, and it works really well.

We sold our bumper grill and swing out arm after the first use. The grill didn't work well and didn't like cooking that close the FW. We purchased a Q2000 and small aluminum table to set it on along with an adapter and 15' hose to run it off the FW propane tanks. Now we cook under the awning, out of the weather and 100% happier.

My TT came with one of those. It's low pressure propane and thus does not get very hot - it struggled to cook hot dogs. I took it off after our first trip. Maybe yours will be better - good luck, but bring a back up.

The bumper grills are on the cheap side. In my searches I'm pretty sure i saw a mount for a weber q that mounts to the bumper.
