My magma grill has an excellent heat output, very wide range. Low works great for slow cooking and high for that fast sear. Smooth action knob too.

I have a Weber Baby-Q (Q-100) and it performs better than any grille I've owned. The flame control is excellent on high and low, and the cast iron grille has excellent heat retention. I've been very happy with it. I also have a cast iron griddle that works very well when used on the grille. The problem I've had with a lot of the portable grilles is flame up when cooking on low like with chicken. Most don't cook on low heat very well. The Weber cooks on low with little flame up and very good heat control, but on high it will definitely broil a steak.

that's what I was looking for. Thanks. I saw that picture a while ago and couldn't find it again. not cheap, but well worth it I guess, I was also looking at the holland companion

also not cheap, but it will last a long time. I have a regular size holland and love it, but it is not a burger kind of grill, it is more like a convection oven. I love it though. Thanks

I've admired Rhinoculips' set up for some time. Very slick, though I imagine it could be on the higher end cost wise.
Otherwise your average camp stove could work just fine. Coleman or the like.
Edit: Looks like he beat me to the Submit button by seconds.

I have a Magma Grill and mounted on the rear passenger quarter panel. Stows under bench while in transit. Do a search, there are many other nice ones.

|
|
I like to BBQ. I have a cheapy propane bbq I got from a yard sale for a few bucks and the flame isn't consistent and always blows out. I am wondering who has a "nice" portable propane grill set up. I want to stay propane, so I can hook it up to the tank and not tote around charcoal. post some pics to if you have them. Nothing better than bbq'd food.
Thanks
