My husband and I are huge fans of grilling in the summer and want to buy a portable grill to bring camping with us. I've been thinking of the Thermos grills----either the fire and ice or the grill2go express--but I thought I'd ask here to see what people use.

Any input? Thanks!

I use a Coleman Propane Grill Stove (Model 9921A). Cost $69.95 at Walmart. It's small and easy to carry when folded up. Cleaning is not too bad. It has a removable grease trap. The grill is always going to be the messiest. I got a small bucket and wire brush to clean it.
Ours cooks for four rather well, but the MASTER CHEF has cooked for as many as nine with it!

6xblessed,

We have the grill 2 go. I like it alot , the cooking surface cleans very easy and collapeses down for travel and storage . I also got the accessory travel bag to put it in. I've found that we get four uses from the small propane cyl, so for a home use I hook it to a 20 lb cyl. We 've used it camping and also at the race track as well as home. The only thing I 've found wrong is that the finish on the cover has started to come off. Thermos does not warrant the cover finish.

I looked at the fire and ice , thought the acess to the cooler part was tight and concerned about some one getting burned trying to get to it. also did not see any benefit since it is ice only. I like the convience of the Igloo we have, it runs off of 12v or 120 v with an adapter. cools well and will also keep things warm.

good luck with your quest,

Loren

We use the Weber Q ... it does a great job.

When we lived in a house ... we had a Weber Grill ... although we prefer charcoal ... the propane powered Q is quite remarkable.

I think we paid 89 bucks for it.

Porky beat me to the punch. You can't beat a Weber. They are like an Airstream, with proper care and maintenance.....We use two Weber kettles at home and once we're thru rebuilding the '73, a Weber will be going with us.

This thread went into some depth on the grill thing....many of us bought new ones after reading it.

It's gotta be a Weber charcoal grill.

Got a little one. Think It's called a Smoky Joe. Fits into the trunk of the AS.

Gotta be characoal. Anything else is cheatin'!

We tried the Son Of Hibatchi last year, but it didn't live up to it's billing. So this year we've got the Smoky Joe. I've always had good luck with Webers.

Nice looking grill but the 7.5" deep grill surface sure is cutting it close for cooking steaks. It would be great for hamburgers. As I scrolled down I noted the larger grill which seems a better choice for cooking of those T-bones and sirloin steak. I could only wish for Porterhouse.

STEAK... Well this is the real deal for the AS Millionaire on the Atkins.

All I can say is WOW. Nice looking grill and plenty of cooking area.

New holland portable grill , have a new holland at home and love it , portable takes longer in cooking time than home unit as there are some construction differences , but the new holland will not flare up and catch on fire if grease drips down as it's constrution is unique and the grease juices ect drip down hit the drain pan and either dran or sizzle and create a smoking effect on the food , the food cooked on a new holland will allways be moister and allmost can not cook to over doneness. Camping world carries them as would a local new holland dealer if Your near one

PWRSTRK · 03-05-2005, 08:00 PM

We're Weber users all the way -- we have five or six of them, including two for the trailer and motorhome, respectively. They are the Go Anywhere Gas. We also have Smokey Joe to take with us if we think we'll want charcoal on the road. Can't recommend the Go Anywhere highly enough.

We looked at one of those yesterday at a local hardware store YIKES

it was $179. I'll be ordering mine from on-line me thinks

M&M CAPECOD · 03-20-2005, 03:48 PM

Same with us, we have the Go Anywhere and the Smokey Joe. The Smokey tastes the best but if you're running short of time there's nothing like the Go Anywhere for a quick dinner, no waiting for the coals to heat up. They both store nicely.

I bought my Baby-Q at end of season last year. I'm ashamed to tell you I paid $79 after discounts at the local Linens&Things store. I can't say enough about it either. I picked up the folding cart a few weeks later. I'm looking for a small refillable LP tank (10lbs or so). A local RV dealer is selling them in his parts dept., but he wants $50.

I could use a valve that ties into the trailer LP supply but I want to be able to move the grill to any spot I wish at my campsite.
