Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Guy,
It would be easier to build one from scratch, or from various parts. (Imho)
All the parts can found at your local hardware store that carries BBQs.
(Burrner, regulator, ignitors, replacement grills, etc.)
A pot with a lid, or a turkey roasting tray with lid of the right size would do the trick for the cooking chamber.
The biggest issue that I see, is getting the burner far enough below the grill and still keep the overall unit size small enough.

I'm probably going to end up designing and building my own BBQ for the tear, like my little Brinkmann Smokin' Grill except smaller and I'm looking at building my own mini range like the Flamineta.

When I can't sleep, I watch infomercials.

I saw a pretty cool looking grill the other day.
It is fairly small, but it is portable, packable, weighs in at 10-15 lbs. and and does not cost an arm and a leg.

Check it out and see what you think.

It is the Q-grill at www.thane.com.

Some feedback from someone who has used one would be great.

Still a teardrop dreamer.........

Can't comment on the Qgrill. The only thing is you can't BBQ on it. Only grill on it. I have seen similar grills at tailgating events and they do a decent job.

Dino,

I was thinking about canniballizing the Brinkman. But maybe just getting parts and going from scratch is the ticket.

Guy,
I really want to build something like the Flamineta from scratch, except go with a self regulated oven temperature setup and top burners with a bit more get up and go...
OH YAA... All out of stainless of course.

Guy,

Maybe I didn't give you enough detail... or maybe I'm not understanding and you are looking for something totally different.

The grill that I bought is small and affordable... heck it's only $39. I can't imagine that you can build something from scratch that cheap... but my suggestion is this small grill...

You'd have to tell me why that doesn't fit your criteria...



Mike...

I had almost the same exact grill for a while in college. Kept it outside so it only lasted about a year. I bought an adapter so I could hook it up to a 20lb tank. Did an excellent job and should last for a while if kept out of the elements. Again, it's only a grill. Can't do indirect cooking on it, which is what I prefer to do.

heh heh heh I have a grill very similar to that one. I store it inside my charcoal grill. It is for when I'm in a real hurry and don't want to light any coals at all. Still use 1lb cans on it.

I don't even have one, but I know the small Webers rock.

BUT NO GAS! WOOD OR CHARCOAL ONLY!!!

Make 2, I want one too. I love the little stove, however a little more power would be great.
