I can say that Weber and Yuengling do make good mealtime partners.

Update
I just stumbled upon this old topic - but figured I'd update it.
I've used this grill probably 4 times a week since new, and just this past week changed out the first 20# propane tank. That's three months of use! My four burner model used one tank a month. Plus it's gone camping twice (very portable). Other than initial price, what's not to like about it? I'm extremely pleased with it. NOTE: This propane tank is not slam empty, just close. Close enough that the baby Weber won't stay burning on a low setting. I've moved this tank over to the bigger grill - to see if it works any better there. Now I just need some ribs to try it out. |
OK, things are slow today
hence this posting, just to give y'all something to read.
Yesterday I grilled ribs, which required my larger grill. That above propane tank that I thought was low and swapped it out ... cooked these ribs. That was two full hours, on low. And so the tank soldiers on ... |
This is sort of on this subject. I don't know if anyone has or even remembers the old style Coleman stoves that you had to pump up. I had one just laying around (I hate to throw anything away when it still works, just because it's just old) so I was fooling around with it, cleaning it up and such when my wife wanted me to go to Wal-Mart with her. I happened to go through the sporting goods dept. and in the section for Coleman stuff was a propane conversion kit for the old style stoves. I bought one and let me tell you, it works like a charm. You can either use the small bottles or buy a hose ans screw a 20# bottle to it. Converter costs around $10 to $15 depending where you live.
Happy camping, Bear :D |
I did that a couple of years ago. It saves on messing around filling and pumping the old tank and also provides a steady flame. While you were at Walmart you should have picked up a Coleman stove top coffee maker, it will make a 12 cup pot on top of the old stove. I just got one about a month ago and put it to the test on our last camping expedition. Purchase the Coleman Coffeemaker at Walmart.com. Save money. Live better. It's about $11 cheaper at Amazon.com.

My bride and I were given a coleman stove as a wedding gift, nothing says love like a Coleman. I sold it in a yard sale, still unopened, about 15 years later.
I really loved that thing! |

Years ago I bought a table top at an auction to get an item in Carnival Glass which my wife and I are ardent collectors. Unbeknownst to me at the time the table top included an old Coleman #530 camp stove. I eventually cleaned it up and it works like a champ. A little history,the #520 was originally produced during WW2 and called a pocket stove. Over 1-million were produced for use during the war. Famed war correspondent Ernie Pyle ranked it right behind the jeep for its usefulness. Later the civilian version #530 was introduced as the perfect pal for hunting, fishing and camping and was produced from 1946 to 1949. I use it occasionally and it is perfect for brewing a pot of coffee or frying an egg when out in the wild. They are evidently fairly collectible as they are listed on eBay anywhere from $45 to $105. If nothing else it will come in handy during an emergency and is a good conversation piece. Jcurtis95 |

Bought the Q2200 with stand from Wally World and have used it about 10 times and IT WILL NOT FLARE UP!!!!!! The ultimate tests was the Boston Butt Pork roast I cooked Friday. It did nearly fill the catch-pan but the end result was awesome!!! I think a little smaller model would be better for RV camping though but, we'll see!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!! Bob |
Had Amazon send me a new Weber 1200 while camping. Best price and speed of delivery. My very old, cheap, grill finally gave up the fight.
Side trays and thermometer(an absolute necessity). I do ribs that take 2+ hours to cook and it still does it well. Grill size is very adequate for 2-3 people. No flare ups and good collection for grease. AAA rating from me!!!!! It isn't inexpensive. You get what you pay for! |

I bought a stainless steel tabletop 20000 btu at Costco for $100 last week. Used it once for 7 burgers and it did really good. Seems to be made of heavier guage steel then the one I looked at at cabelas. Now I want a really long hose so I can use one of the front 20# propane bottles to use it without having to move the bottle.
Duro NXR Table Top Gas BBQ Grill | Costco Weekender My dream would be to take the inside cabnet in the bathroom and convert it so it was a slide out grill area on the outside. Have you seen those outback campers with the slide out kitchen? https://info.kimberleykampers.com/wp-...en-0111-bl.jpg |
