Yes you can get a separate hose and utilize one of your TT's propane tanks if your rig doesn't have a quick connect installed. The small 1# disposable propane tanks are used by many and usually provide a couple (maybe more) cooking sessions and don't take much space. Charcoal works well and is the only method some use to bbq their meat as it lends to more flavor under most conditions. Personally, we use the Weber Q120 which stores easily in our TT's full passthrough basement.

Where I come from, BBQ and grilling are not the same thing.

We have a small propane grill that has not been used in years. Always use our Weber Smoky Joe charcoal grill. Small, easy to store, and cooks great. Yeah, it takes a few minutes to get the chacoal hot, but the flavor of the food is so much better.

I'm with you, that is the way it is here in NW Louisiana.

We use briquets. And we never "wait" for the coals to be ready. When they are ready, we are ready to put on the chicken, pork, steaks, burgers or hot dogs.

I can't remember what the model is called but it is a rectangular Webber with fold down legs that fold up to hold the lid on securely. Even though I use propane at home this uses charcoal. This works well because I am more likely to be using my "camp dutch oven" for most all of my camping cooking. Jim.

The Weber I use is great. It's black, sort of rectangular with a lid and works off the small screw on propane tanks. There are several sizes and mine was around $100. Only problem is that aren't tall enough to do something large like a chicken. Great for steaks, chops, pieces of chicken and I have done a small roast in foil.


Sounds like a Weber Go-Anywhere. They are available in charcoal and propane.

I use my Weber Smokey Joe, with the tamale pot conversion it doubles as a grill and a small smoker. I also take an 18-inch Jumbo Joe. Looking for a go anywhere gas to use with my griddle for breakfast. Anything weber is just awesome.

I think you are talking about this one (what I also own) which I believe Weber recently renamed. I bought mine as a "Pack and Go" but now it's called a "Go Anywhere"; still space efficient, easy to smoke on w/ a mod or two and easy to operate:

A Weber Q can't be beat for RVing / camping - porcelain coated cast iron grill, stainless steel burner, no other parts to rattle around, minimal gas consumption. One can run a Q from a 16.4 oz canister, standalone propane tanks of your preferred size, a T off your trailer's propane tanks before the regulator, or even off a low pressure quick disconnect trailer fitting provided the Q's regulator is removed. I've tried them all over the years and find using a stand alone 5 lb tank the simplest - no hoses running across the campsite to deal with yet runs "forever", at most requiring one refill during the season.

Another advantage - the smallest Q120 / Q1200 stores perfectly in this Sterilite Bin which keeps the grill clean & dry and prevents greasy cooking smells out of where you're storing it for travel, be it the tow vehicle or camper.
