We now have over 10k miles on our 2018 Airstream. Up to this point we have used it mainly for traveling, visiting friends, family and working from the road. The camping we have done has been very short trips and we cooked inside.<\/p>\n

We knew at some point we would want a grill. My requirements were to keep it as simple as possible:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Small and simple to carry around and store<\/li>\n
  2. Should have a built in table or available table<\/li>\n
  3. Run on propane and be convertible to use our low pressure propane port on the AS.<\/li>\n
  4. Trusted brand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We looked at the Weber grills and the Airstream branded grill. It comes out of the box with the ability to use the AS propane port. It is small and easy to deal with. However it does not come with a table. They are available but are extra. Grill cost is $269.<\/p>\n

    Airstream branded Weber Q<\/a><\/p>\n

    Then I found a Stok grill that came with its own table that it collapsed onto for storage. Nice! You could also replace part of the grill surface with over available grilling surfaces, like a flat surface, veggie basket, etc. However, I had never heard of Stok nor had I been able to find a way to convert it to use the low pressure propane port. Cost is $189 at Home Depot.<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/STOK-Gridiron-348-sq-in-Single-Burner-Portable-Propane-Gas-Grill-in-Black-with-Insert-Compatibility-STG1150HD\/206467951<\/p>\n

    Then it hit me. My father had a grill a while back, a Coleman Roadtrip. It met all the requirements, small, built in table with wheels, trusted brand, but I did not know if it could be converted to use the low pressure propane port.<\/p>\n

    A little web search later (use DuckDuckGo NOT Google, but that is another post) and I found a purpose made connector!<\/p>\n

    Sturgi-Safe Low Pressure Quick Disconnect – $18<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JP6WNk<\/p>\n

    So we went and found a Coleman Roadtrip X-Cursion grill. It looked the same as the on my Dad had. Should work. Not!<\/p>\n

    Coleman changed the propane connector on the X-Cursion grill. It has a built in propane regulator and the LGB (little green bottle) connects on the front and would not work with the Sturgi-Safe connector. So I took the grill back.<\/p>\n

    I needed to find a RoadTrip LXE and resorted to the 80\u2019s method, thus the quest. I actually used a telephone and called around to those stores I thought would possibly have them and didn\u2019t do online stock queries. I found 5 of them at the Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods store at Tucson Mall of all places. I guess the LXE is the \u201cold\u201d style and it was on sale for $179. Score!<\/p>\n

    Here is an Amazon link to the LXE grill so you can see what we needed up with.<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LroWkd<\/p>\n

    So with the Sturgi-Safe and the Roadtrip LXE we have found a grill that meets all the requirements and with the local purchase also happened to be the least expensive. We will be able to use it with the Airstream and the little green bottles of propane, as the Sturgi-Safe is simple to remove and basically just replaces the Coleman connector to the grill for the LGB\u2019s.<\/p>\n

    We will update this post over the weekend with pictures of it in action!<\/p>\n
