I did get the fold and go, Its made in America. to get around the problem with gas versus charcoal (charcoal always tastes better) you can do a smoking pouch. I did it before I bought a Big Green Egg and cooked on a Ducane gss grill. Simple take your favorite wood chips, soak in warm water for a bit, drain and then make an aluminum foild pouch, poke holes in it an lay on the burner, shortly smoke with flavor will start making it way out. I have used this for years when cooking with gas and it makes a big difference.

Another vote for the O-grill 1000. Folds up and packs away nicely. Cast Iron grates and easy to clean.

We have had good luck with a grill called a Notebook grill which I purchased on line and if interested I can find the company. They come in SS or black metal. Very light weight and very easy. The whole thing folds flat and is easy to use. The whole issue with charcoal is knowing how to judge the temperature of the coals and that is trial and error for most of us. I use a charcoal chimney to start my coals and then transfer to the gril. This grill is light and I had the local awning guy make me a bag for it. I keep it in the pass thru storage area with other items stacked on top, it is that flat. I alway premeasure my charcoal into two gallon zip lock bags, one for each meal and one extra for emergencies. These go in a storage box under the front bunks in our 176. I'll try posting a picture. Good luck.

I love my Weber Q100.  Good size, cooks great, nice griddle.  Problem....doesnt fit under the rpod storage area unless the cover isnt on it.  My first trip out I used the cheap Rhino that came with my 182g.  It worked....but I missed the Weber Q.

I may have to figure out a way to pack it.  I have a roller storage bag for it....nice and easy.

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!

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.

IMHO the best portable grill... period. I've taken mine everywhere and we use it when camping in the Pod over the stove/gas/bbq.
