Need new bbq for camper
So, with camping season around the corner, I'm looking for a bbq/grill for the camper. Want something portable yet big enough to cook more than 2 steaks on. Seen in crappy tire flyer they had this fold able grill on sale for $249.99, bit when I went to look it is pretty flimsy and cheaply made. Any suggestions?

Bbq
We have a couple of fold up from Can Tire Son-inlaw has the coleman not a very good unit. We bought the Cuisnart last year and this one works pretty good, bought the extra hose to plumb into the 5th wheel instead of using the little bottles.

We just picked up a cuisinart portable grill from CT yesterday for 149. BTU is 12,000 weighs 50 pounds. I'll let you know how it cooks after we try it out today.

Costco
Picked up a nice stainless steel table top BBQ from Costco for 115.00. Put two steaks, potatoes and veggies on the surface.
Used it a couple time already and does the job. Beats hauling a full size Q around.

Don't leave em hooked onto your trailer, when the ol black bear wanders into camp they don't hold up very well!

We have the Coleman portable unit. I think it's called the roadmate? Not sure thought, it's probly a little over 2 feet long, legs and side table store underneath. Shaped kind of like a hockey rink.
It's junk. It more fries, than grills. Can't wait for it to burn out.
The Cuisanart looks good, Costco usually puts out a good product also.

Bought this one from Wal mart last September long weekend. Worked well for what we used it for. Folds up nice and easy to move around but it is not cast but bonus is it ain't overly heavy either. Think I paid a whopping $45 for it. If it blows up, oh well.

x2.... a little pricey to get off the ground by the time you buy the grill box and a griddle, but I can't see myself having to replace this set up for many many years.

Have the same unit. LOVE IT. Very portable and cooks like crazy. Love my steaks on it. Fits nicely in the front cabinet of the trailer. The removable legs and straps that make the handle are handy. My folks have one as well. Took them almost 10yrs to wear out the first one. They are on their second one. Have had mine for 3yrs without a problem.

Creme de la creme units for sure but sticker shock is big. Be my next one though for sure.

If camping and you have a fire the only way to cook a steak is on the fire. No bbq required.

Cuisinart
We have been using the Cuisinart portable from Canadian Tire since last year. Over the years we've just about tried all the portables, including the Weber's. While the Cuisinart is a bit bigger, in my opinion it runs circles around any of the others.

X2 on the Roadmate. Awesome BBQ, had one for 5 years now it works great, have to cook on lowest setting. You can also get a griddle for it to cook pancakes, bacon & eggs. I love mine, I even use it in the garage in the winter Folds up nicely for storage as well, has a scissor action folding like an ironing board with wheels.
