best small portable grill.

Ok, I have been to every sight on the I net, Camping World etc. At Home I have a Big Green Egg smoker, the best dad gum closed smoker grill I have used in my 62 years of living on this beautiful Earth. I have looked at gas/charcoal/ etc, Donna and I are looking for a light, compact, stainless steel, packs light, easy to clean, easy set up, good heat, no hot spots. I am kind of leaning to charcoal. I am thinking match light charcoal so I dont have to pack starter fluid, ( am not fond of flamable liquids in the storage area) cooking for two most of the time, but may need the capacity for 4 or maybe 6 on a strech. No gourmet cooking , well maybe if I shoot a phesant, or a turkey, or catch some fresh fish, mostly burgers, chicken, pork chops, chicken kabobs. Who out there has the wisdom to guide this old fool ? I kind of like the fuego, something, and the ones at camping world, but $279.00 plus shipping. HELP

Many people do not like the flavor imparted by propane grilling.  However, after many camping trips where the charcoal has gotten damp or was nearly impossible to start right out of the bag, we switched to propane.  We started out with a medium sized BBQ, but found out that with just the two of us, the units were oversized. We ended up buying a Coleman "Fold-N-Go" grill (Camping World #43823), it has piezo-start, and uses a disposal propane bottle.  Great for one or two people. The burner is only 6000BTU and comes with optional stove ring and griddle.  It weighs only 12 lbs and fits neatly in one of the storage bays, more room for all the other stuff we carry. 

tidalwave, after much knashing of teeth, I took your advice and ordered the fold and go from coleman. I like their products as a rule. I know charcoal makes for better flavor, but I like the clean propane, plus no starter fluid, charcoal comes out of the bag all over the storage area, wait 1/2 hour for coals to get hot, then they are to hot. you can use wood chips for smoke for flavor. Camping world had it for $25.00 less than Bass Pro. When it comes to camping, cooking outside is a must, the smells outside, the flavor the fresh air imparts to food is enlightining. I am already thinking about burgers on the new grill, fresh caught lake fish, Good Grief I think I have put on 2 lbs just thinking about it.

While I mentioned the Weber Q-Series, which is what I use at my seasonal campsite, this is the one that travels in the R-Pod with us.

We camped for years with a Weber Smokey Joe. Small, light, used very little charcoal. It still is in the garage after over 30 years of use. We have used it to roast a Thanksgiving turkey in the Superstitions above Lake Roosevelt, trout along unnamed creeks and even as a fire pit here in the backyard in NJ! Great little grill!
