Do I have to say goodbye to my outside stove?

[mnmbeck]

We always cook outside when we are out in the PU. We are now upgrading to a HTT, and I see there is no longer any such thing as an outside mounted stove. (only the RVQ).
The HTT we are buying has a mounting strip and hookup for the grill it provides, but we want a stove. If I buy a camp stove, is there a way to hook it up to the existing gas hookup outside? Do I need some sort of a gas adapter to make it work?
We realize we won't probably find a stove to hang from the side of the camper, but would really like to be able to use the existing gas hookup and not have to carry yet another propane tank! (or those little green ones).

Yep...but I dont want a bbq. I have a bbq that came with the trailer. I want gas burners. A stovetop. Much harder to find.

the side of camper bbqs are available all over the interwebs.

we use the attached bbq a lot. I took it from my flagstaff pup. The only stove action we do outside is big pot boiling, or coleman propane drip coffee maker on a single burner. On big trips with guests, we use the skillet, propane stove//grill combo, and bbq. You leave the extra gear at home and only take what the current trip needs.

I may have gotten some VERY good news today! I had to bring our Roo in due to a water leak. (Hope and pray they find the source).
While I was there, I asked about outside, 'low pressure' stove that could attach to our Roo (even thought I have been told that it doesn't exist). They said that Rockwood gives the option of a grill or stovetop when you buy new. She actually HAD a 3 burner stove (low pressure) to attach to the outside of the Roo in stock!!! She wasn't sure if it would be too heavy, though. Anyway....this may be the answer we were looking for. OUTSIDE cooking that can attach to the OUTSIDE gas hookup on the side of the trailer!!! I don't even care if it doesn't attach to the strip....we can put it on a table next to the trailer. I just wanted something I could hook into the existing gas that was meant for the outside grill! I'll let you know if it's too good to be true!

I have a celano side mounted grill, coleman exponent folding kitchen, and wally world folding heavy duty grilling table 1/2 steel grates/second half plastic table.
Coleman coffee pot on single power pack burner, Coleman skillet, Coleman grill/stove combo. 2 bbq, one skillet, 2 stovetops.
That should be enough, lol.

I use a 2 burner Brinkman camp stove set on the picnic table or fold up table that we bring and it works fine. I have an adapter that hooks to the propane tanks or I can use the screw on bottles.

I guess I am at a loss of the difference between an outside camp fire stove and outside camping grill setup you are referring too.

My grill has both open and solid cooking top area which are easliy removed and exchanged depending what we are cooking. We cook full meals on it all the time with pots and pans or just grill-en steaks... My two burner Coleman Roadtrip runs off the 1lb propane canister. My Coleman Roadtrip grill setup is no different than the grill setups that are attached to the side of the trailer.

It is no difference than cooking on the propane stove top inside the trailer? Maybe you referring to an OVEN for cooking...

We are setup much like GWH1BASS shown above...

Although this doesn't really answer your question, this is what we do

It doesn't. The camper regulator drops the pressure to 11"WC which is what a low pressure LP appliance runs on.

There are many options for non-side-mount camp stoves - obvious ones being Coleman and Camp Chef. There are also advantages to using one that doesn't have to mount on the side of the camper, such as easily being able to position it wherever works for the particular campsite. This can be especially important at sites that are steeply sloped.

Like the OP, I also prefer a stove and don't even carry a grill. When we want to grill, we use the campfire.

I have a stove, but I'm thinking about moving to a grill. The stove is good for boiling water or using a griddle pan for breakfast, but that is about it. If we want to have burgers, steaks, chicken, etc. I have to pan fry or fire up the charcoal kettle grill (which is a pain).

I feel that with a grill I could still use the griddle pan (or cast iron pan) on it for breakfast, but I could also properly grill foods.

When it comes to boiling water for pasta, corn, etc. I feel that I could do that on the inside stove. Yes, it's cooking inside (which we try to avoid), but it's only water which wont stink up the trailer.

Just to clarify...I am talking about a stove....not a grill. Side mounted grills are pretty easy to find with propane hookup.

I'm thinking about converting my old Weber and making it more portable, maybe even haul it on one of those hitch mounter receivers. I didn't realize that the camper regulator lowered the pressure more than a normal grill. Good info, thanks.

We are really hoping to use the hookup on the side of the camper for our stove, rather than carrying around another propane tank.
I looked at Camp Chef's website. They say that "many" of their stoves are low-pressure and can be used with RV hookups, but they don't say WHICH ones!! I sent them a message and have yet to hear back. Does anybody know which ones work this way? I am wondering if the ones that are 30,000 BTU are low pressure, and the 60000 BTU are high pressure?

I use a lightweight foldup table, a Coleman propane stove, and an 11 lb refillable propane bottle (short enough to easily stow and weighs less). The only thing I use the inside stove for is the oven.

There's no reason to stop cooking outside.
