Looking for propane grill recommendation

tabranger

I’d like to get a small grill to hook up to the outside propane line on my 2024 Tab 400. Anybody have any good ones that aren’t too large?

     I love my very small Weber with igniter. I have had others that are larger and heavier, but prefer this one. It’s lightweight, has plenty of grill space for my needs, is reasonably priced, and does the job well. I had the lower model CharBroil but prefer having an igniter.

This is what we use.  Great for two people.

Grats on your new 400, I have a 2024 T@B 400 ordered, what connector is used between the RV gas and the grill?

Assuming the outside propane connection is like on every other RV keep in mind that this is a low pressure connection, after the regulator. The typical small propane grills have their own regulator and in many cases the regulator and flame adjustment are a single unit so you can not simply remove it. With larger grills that connect to a full size propane tank one can simply replace the hose with the regulator with one that connects to the quick disconnect. 

Although I had trailers in the past that had the propane quick disconnect, I never used it because of the hassle of adapters and regulators. Plus it limits where the grill can be placed, which more often than not is away from the provided table and benches.

I don't bring a BBQ grill anymore. Too heavy and too big. We have completely switched to a skottle from Tembo Tusk for all our cooking and I can't see us going back. Not only is it lighter and smaller to carry but it is also so much easier to clean. https://tembotusk.com/pages/skottle-grill

We still use the Coleman Road Trip grill we used for many years while tent camping. We don't take it very often. I've wondered about the Weber Little Joe. Weber has a table top, gas grill that looks nice. If it cooks and fits in your car, it's good.

I've used the smaller Weber Q for years. The Q used to be pretty popular with this crowd--it's solidly built with a heavy iron grill, has a griddle option, and with a few modifications can even be used as a makeshift oven for baking.

That said, it is a bit oddly shaped and a little bulky, but I've got plenty of space in the covered back of a truck, so I'm stickin' with it!

Thanks all! I think it’s a toss up between Weber Q, Coleman, and small black rectangular Weber.

I went with this one last year because of it's compact size and stainless exterior. I have only used it twice, so no real feedback yet: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CGG-180TS-Portable-Tabletop-Stainless/dp/B013TR2F4Y/ref=sr_1_10?crid=9KWYSL9G2T7T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NWaP5LD69WNKuh6mdwuu5KF9asJ9IJghERIXUgYcmfMhQUPqwYobSt48tSmby4EiBRYUfgRrJgV_CnDNSsE_HmLQMe9id3R4NUnZ6h-Ek26nO7MGmSIqSDjwWBRYNjIz2X_G1KqKSNmZqKWuaxC-XtwCMedliFNvTjhH2y1-bR5AI5HCd_OBJkwttX6hMiB5SMTNephgheo_mRKxiq14io8R8D5_mdCyyjIbFDx2ihA.Bs4Vi5k0-2ZU3R82BAk5neW-sNAEbQKsxrleCADKnb4&dib_tag=se&keywords=cuisinart+grill&qid=1710845138&sprefix=cuisinart+grill%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-10

@tabranger the Coleman is one that I tried and gave away. I had the model with legs, and it was heavy and bulky to store in my TV. With age and a couple of health issues that show up here and there, I want the lightest gear that still does the job. That plus the price eliminated the Weber Q. Just know your own priorities and needs and go from there. Best of luck!

As I said, we have the Coleman because it is left over from our tenting days. It cooks great, but is is large and cumbersome.

You may have missed it in the post above but if you want to use the T@B's low pressure quick connect you will need to get a low pressure grill. Most stated above will not work correctly on the low pressure T@B fitting. They will easily blow out, not have much heat, or not light altogether. Forget anything that uses the little green bottles. To use a regular gas grill like the Colemans you will need to put a Y connection directly on the propane tank and get a hose to use the stoves regulator. Blackstone and Camp Chef both make some low pressure grills/stoves that will work correctly on a low pressure connection.

I recently saw this low pressure stove that looks interesting. I have no experience with it but it has some interesting features like the grill and griddle plates. If you dig deeper into the description it appears it is made by Dometic, the maker of the inside stove.  As I said, no experience w this stove but just another low pressure option.

We have the Weber Q and love it.  That being said, our kids bought me a 17" Blackstone Griddle last year and we probably used it more than the Weber.  It has a nice carrying case so its easy to pack.  It's very versatile and easy to clean.  We even put small pans on it for heating up things like soup.  I have a pick-up truck so luckily we have the room to pack both.

@Basil48192 We also love our 17" Blackstone. I'm interested in the carrying case you're using. We had a cheap one that eventually failed. I've found two new versions to choose from. Either of these what you're using? One is a lot more pricey than the other. Wondering if it's worth it.

I don't have any first hand experience yet, but I went down this rabbit hole a while back and found this.  https://torjik.com/grill-rv-quick-connect/  Eventually I will try one of them out with the appropriate grill.

@AnOldUR We have the carrying case from your first link (the less expensive one!).  We've only used it for one season...but it seem robust enough.  We don't carry it very far....we mainly use it to store everything and keep it from getting banged up in truck.  So far so good!

I bought a Weber Q and also have the griddle and the stand.  We use it at home too with the same 10lb propane tank I use for our fire pit. The weber Q is awesome for BBQ and I use the griddle for pancakes & sausages, and we've cooked pizza on it too.  Love it!!
