Jack, you are right about the gas bottles on the Baby Q, but it's not really an issue. We bought a Baby Q while in Lansing at the Internat'l Rally, and just hooked it up the regular size (2-lb) bottles with a hose adapter (Wal-Mart, about $7 I think).
The hose was long enough that we just tossed the bottle under the Airstream, out of the way, and put the Baby Q where we wanted. As a bonus, the box made a handy disposable table for our barbecues in Lansing!
You can also hook the Baby Q up to the Airstream's propane tanks with a simple "bulk tank adapter" and a T-fitting. This was my plan all along, since I didn't see the sense in carrying extra propane bottles when I've already got 40 lbs of the stuff riding up front.
But after the first trip, we stopped carrying the Baby Q and it has since become our primary home barbecue. It's that good! The cooking control is absolutely excellent.
By the way, in the picture, the legs belong to: (clockwise from the 12-o'clock position): David Winick, of winickdesign.com; Doug Monroe, author of the upcoming 75th anniversary Airstream book; Sean Gorman, photo editor for Airstream Life; (the bony knees at 7 o'clock are mine); Daisy Welch; and Hunter Hampton, of the famous Yahoo Airstream List. That was QUITE a barbecue ...
