Agree on the heat output, hogone. This thing would be scary if fully cranked up! (The term "blow torch" comes to mind)

I turned it up about half way to heat up the grate and get a good sear and then backed it down to about as low as it would go, while maintaining a flame, for the remainder of the cooking. This worked great for me.

I lined the "firebox" bottom with foil and the small removable drip tray also. (Be careful not to ground the electronic starter) This made clean up a snap.

I'm thinking about the griddle option. Though I usually don't eat breakfast, I do sometimes enjoy breakfast foods, later in the day (brunch?).

Overall, good and a good call...2 tools in 1 and it fits in my forward storage door/compartment.]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2016 19:06:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78556#78556 Coleman Grill/Stove : this thing cranks pretty good... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78547#78547 Author: hogone

this thing cranks pretty good heat out. david, you can by a griddle to put in the rack position; great for making breakfasts!!! I agree, not as heavy duty quality as the old stuff, but its overall good and very compacted and convenient.   hogone ]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2016 15:54:44 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78547#78547 Coleman Grill/Stove : Check the BTU rating of any grill... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78529#78529 Author: Camper Bob

Check the BTU rating of any grill before you purchase.  10,000 BTU will take some time to bring a large pot of water to boil or grill a steak or hamburgers.  Safe Travels.]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2016 12:01:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78529#78529 Coleman Grill/Stove : Originally posted by hogonethat's... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=78519#78519 Author: Guests

If hogone likes it, it MUST be good! This is what we want to see...ain't it?   



It got it's first use over the holiday weekend and, overall, I give it a thumbs up. The grill grate has a non-stick coating that cleans up easily. Gas usage is good. It should work fine for my needs.

My initial impression was that it is not of the quality of the "old" Coleman stuff and it is not. However, it is pretty good, by contemporary standards.

Alas, this one was not U.S.A. made:

I had purchased a STOK Tourist grill from Home Depot. It was about half the price of the Coleman. While it collapses down and stores in its carrying bag, it is too tall to go in the underneath storage. That means either carrying it inside the TV or the R-Pod. Neither is ideal. If I packed the lid separately, I could get it underneath. However, space there is at a premium anyway. I don't use it with disposable cylinders. I use a hose with the spare 20 lb cylinder.

These are great grills, and you can cook on your tailgate or picnic table with charcoal or wood and it doesn't get too hot underneath to cause a probelm.  It drops down to about 5 inches and goes in a bag.  I keep mine under the bench seat at the table of my 177 to add some weight up front (weighs 25 pounds), but it will dang sure fit underneath and not take up much space.

Are any of you using this? -

Coleman Grill/Stove

I'll soon be replacing my small propane grill. The one presently owned will not fit in my front storage compartment so, I have to carry it in the truck bed. I don't really like this and I'm afraid that, sooner or later, I'll forget to bring it. If size were not an issue, I'd get a Weber-Q.

The grill/stove looks like the best of both worlds and would fit in my storage compartment. I could replace my well used tabletop grill and "retire" my 2 burner camp stove.]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2016 16:02:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8173&PID=77234#77234
