  I guess I could have just thrown the meatloaf slices on the raw grill but it was dark out so did everything indoors.

  This looks wonderful. Weber owes you one. I hope you make it to tabazona.

  Since I had the grill preheated, baked a couple potatoes also.

  Everything looks great. We have an older portable grill and I may have to try out your technique.

  The other nifty thing is both cookie sheet, a large and small muffin pan fit inside while traveling...

  I'm just so tickled it works - Camping food is for weekenders, gets old if you're out on an extended basis. I want to eat what I always did. Smores and weenies around a campfire just don't cut it :-)

  Didn't know there were two sizes - Evidently I'd just seen the bigger ones in campgrounds & that's what the stores I visited had.

  There seems to be many different sizes (8,500; 12,000; 21,700 BTUs) available.  Can you tell me what size is your Q grille?

  I was never one to eat marginally tasting food while camping unless backpacking and the weight restrictions.  We want to eat well when we are enjoying one's self while camping.  I am following this thread, but feel a little bit conflicted since I have a bit of charcoal snobbery and have avoided gas grills.  The simplicity of the gas grill for baking is obvious.  What to do....

  I am a little confused. Do you always bake on top of both cookie sheets as opposed to putting food in between them? I am assuming no space for food in between them.

  jcfaber1 - I'm a charcoal guy too. Prefer it. Found it to be somewhat of a hassle carrying charcoal/fluid/chips so ditched it in favor of this. Now when I want that flavor I stop at a good charbroil burger joint.

  Jenn - Yep, on top. It's all about deflecting the heat around. Found with just one tray it still gets too hot and burns the bottom of whatever you're baking.

  The (ingenious) tray arrangement uses indirect heat (baking/roasting) instead of direct heat (grilling.)

  I've got five outdoor cookers, including charcoal, gas, and electric. They all do certain things well, but I can't say the food is better just because it was cooked by one fuel vs. another. The Q is a quality unit, and using gas is clean, compact, and convenient--high priorities for me when camping. YMMV!

  PXLated, this research you're doing is greatly appreciated! Wow, looks delicious!
  
  We, also, like to eat well when camping - what's the point otherwise, if we're towing a kitchen?
  
  But of course storage seems to be the stumbling point for us. Our cooler and fridge end up a chaotic mess by the end of a trip. What do you use for refrigeration?

  ChanW - Just using the 3-way fridge. I always stay within a reasonable distance of a decent grocery store. Drove 35 miles yesterday and restocked the fresh stuff. I usually tie my grocery run to some kind of adventure. Yesterday it was an old, abandoned copper mining town.

  ChanW - I do carry some prepared food, canned soup, pastas, etc. so I can go for a week or so on that but prefer being able to get fresh meat/poultry, etc. so kind of plan where I'll be in relation to a decent grocery store. Was in NE New Mexico last year where the closest grocery store was 75 miles (and not really a great store) and the next closest was 125. After that, I paid closer attention :-)

  It is time to get a Weber for the summer.  I was looking on-line and the Q-2000 doesn't have a temperature gauge, but I see that yours does, so I just wanted to do a double check.  Could it be the Q-2200 that you have.
  
  Thanks.

  Could be - Doesn't say on it and I threw the manual ... Got it at either Home Depot or Lowes.

  FYI - When I bought mine I wasn't thinking of baking - My objective was to get a grill that would stay lighted in wind - Had wind for three weeks and no matter how I tried to shield either the grill or campstove they'd blow out. Got the WeberQ and just lucked out getting one with the temp prob/gauge. Gave both the old grill and campstove way. After that experience I don't know how people with the outside kitchen manage.
  One of the best investments I've made - Meatloaf going on here in a minute followed by lemon cookies.

  Maybe even the 1200, which comes in T@B colors? 1200 is about $199 and 8,500btu. The 2200 runs about $249 and 12,000btu. I'm guessing btu is important when you are trying to bake. So tough trying to keep up with @PXLated ;-)
