BBQ for RV

Any suggestions on what type/brand of propane BBQ to purchase for our RV? Do you prefer the low pressure or high pressure burner? I would rather NOT have the BBQ rack mounted onto the RV. Thanks for your suggestions!

modify what? A BBQ is a BBQ.. they all run on the same LP pressure via internal regulators. If you're talking about running it off the house tank on the RV the heat is the same. Some use the RV regulator, others use the on-board regulator on the BBQ and draw from the high pressure in the RV. In the end it's the same.

I'd rather have charcoal but it's too messy to transposprt, so another vote for the Weber BBY-Q

We've been using this Weber model for decades and are on only our 2nd one of these great small portable Weber propane grills. They're very compact to store and carry. The legs fold up over the top to hold it shut for storage ... and you can store a couple of the 1 lb. bottles right in it under the lid. In it's stow configuration it is a rectangular box shape so it can easily be fit into RV storage cabinets with other stuff packed around it. It's large enough for at least 4 good sized steaks, 6-8 burgers, or a bunch of hotdogs. It uses Weber's "flavor bar" design to produce real a tasty flavor in anything BBQ'd on it, that improves over time. One 1 lb. bottle of propane will last for several BBQ'ing sessions. I'm sure adapters are readily available for using standard 5 gal propane tanks or built-in propane tanks to feed it. It uses a push button to light it: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Weber-Go-Anywhere-Portable-Single-Burner-Propane-Gas-Grill-1141001/204701...

$99 stainless NXR grill from Costco. It stores nicely in a clear tote with lid from Walmart. The tote keeps the grease and the smell contained so it doesn't stink up the basement storage.

FYI you are looking for a grill not a BBQ. Barbecuing and grilling are two completely different animals.

Well, he gave me the impression that he was not exactly a minimalist. He's got an RV and a 24 gallon LP tank. This model is well suited for RVing, what with the legs being quickly removable AND the whole thing fitting into a 9"x 16"x 24" box.
So, is the OP RVing or camping?....:B

Costco 99.00, it does require a 20 lb tank. But we just throw it in the back of the truck. We use it at home as our home bbq also

I am not sure but you may be confusing low pressure burner with a low pressure output. All gas grills run on a reduced pressure which is accomplished via the regulator. If you hook up to a quick connect port installed on your rig it is already regulated down by the tank regulator. If you use a stand alone with a 1 lb or 20 lb tank it will have a regulator on the line you connect to the tank.
Hope this helps.
