 You might consider a Weber Jumbo Joe. <$70.oo. 18" Dia. cooking grid. Charcoal fuelled - lump or briquet. Electricity not  required. Light w/ newspaper, solid fire starters, veg oil soaked paper towels etc..

 As a bonus, it can be used when you get back home to do a serious sear or as a supplemental cooker.

I have the dc in the toy hauler. Works well, but as already noted it can be cumbersome to setup solo. It’s not the weight, but it’s awkward to setup on the legs by yourself because of the design of the legs.  I store it in a husky storage box and then set it up on top of that when cooking

I like this! It will stay in good shape for years.

Sorry to go off-topic but I like that DC storage idea as well - do you know the model number or size?
37"?
Thanks,

I use a Davy mostly at home, and sometimes when RV-ing, but as has been mentioned, it is a pain to schlep around.  I hate the fold up legs and took them off permanently in favor of the little spring legs.n My favorite quote regarding the Davy Crockett from someone, somewhere is that the engineer that designed the legs should have his thumbs broken  I tend to agree

For a portable cooker, it cannot be better - PID wireless controller with meat probe, all the connectors needed to clip it to a car battery or plug into a car cigarette lighter, and of course 120v.

Get a GMG DC Take the legs off of it & you can set it anywhere, No pain to set up!

YouTube has a video of a guy storing his DC in a mobile box.

Heres the link for simplicity if anyone else is looking.
Only issue I may have is getting it out as I got rid of the short legs/handles day I bought it

Only issue with that is when at grilling temps (500 plus) the bottom gets so hot it started my wooden table bubbling and smoking.

I use a couple 2X4's to raise it up so there's some air underneath it. I have no problems. I don't set it on plastic tables.

My Traeger Junior with the tailgate kit has insulation under the bottom.  But I always a grill mat that is heat resistant under it also.

I've given this subject a lot of thought.
I have a 15 year old Coleman Tailgater, that I LOVE.
Poor thing has been hauled around all over this country and Canada in the back of my
motorcycle camper for well over 100k miles.
Gave up motorcycles couple years ago and got a regular pop up.
It's been in it.

Just purchased a large travel trailer and almost pulled the trigger on a DC or the small Pit Boss offering, but have come to this conclusion for the present time.

I'm not giving up my Roadtrip grill!
The griddle side is fantastic for breakfast.
The grill side for burgers, steak and chops. Plus have
the burner insert for pots and pans.
If I'm camping, my Roadtrip is going with me.

Two factors have led me to this conclusion.
Weight and space. I don't care the size of your rig, these two factors come into play. Not only the pellet grill itself but pellets, vacuum, rubs, injections etc. I would rather use the space/weight for something like a inverter generator etc.
Now factor in, when camping do you want to be tied to your grill for 6,8,10 hours? I don't. I'm exploring the area.

Now the good part. I'm not going without my Q.
I'm constantly amazed at how good my leftovers and what I prepare ahead of time and vacuum seal. With a big fridge and freezer in the trailer I can have enough in there for weeks if I wanted for the wife and I.

I can see occasion where a bunch of us may be chilling out visiting for days somewhere and want a pellet grill with me. When that happens I'll jerk the legs off the DLX and take it. But 95% of the time I'd have no use for it.
