Last summer I was at Home Depot buying paint and I spotted a cart full of Thermos Grill-2-Go grills http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-1023105-3197452?asin=B00005B6ZB. I saw people picking them up one after another. I walked up and they were on clearance for $88. I grabbed the second to last one!

This grill has been a great addition to the tailgate paraphenalia! We aren't allowed to use charcoal grills anymore outside of our stadium (Penn State).

The grill packs easily, but the only drawback is it slides around a bit in my truck. I bungee it to the side now. The lid locks down which is nice. The grill uses the portable camping canisters and can be converted for full size propane tanks. I chose to stick with the little ones. I don't feel like lugging a full size tank. If you were doing some major grilling you would want a full size grill anyway. The cooking surface is much like a large George Forman grill. It takes some getting used to but works well. The grease runs off into a holding tank which you can empty later. One side of the grill is grated while the other is flat. The flat side is nice for cooking breakfast. I haven't had the grill camping yet but it would be perfect.

The new ones are call Fire and Ice and include a cooler underneath and wheels. These look awesome and it looks like they would add a bit more stability to the grill. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2069416&cat=136114&type=1&dept=5428&path=0%3A5428%3A136114

Hey Matt! Thanks for stopping by!

I have a similar setup, only the coleman brand. The difference is my grate has slits in it so you can actually get some of the fire on your food! It6 is tougher to clean up though! I love it, and will probably add another to my tailgating gear this year!

Matt,

I do a ton of grilling....practically every night in the summer. I have a Fire and Ice grill I got for my birthday last year. I LOVE IT!! I will tell you the cooler section is functional, but I do wish it was better insulated. My coleman stainless cooler keeps ice MUCH longer than the Fire and Ice. It is nice to cook on but does not give it the "cook out" taste you get from a traditional gas or charcoal grill. It IS more like a George Foreman type. If Weber made the "Q" grill with a cooler attached, that would be my choice, but for camping, NASCAR races, etc, being able to pack your cooler/grill really saves on space. I highly recommend it...just don't get out of line with expectations.

Rollo.
