So the million dollar questions is I don’t wanna be dragging all kinds of grills camping. So do I get a blackstone 28” or do I get a traeger ranger. What’s everyone else carrying and what are you using for a table. Thanks

Black Stone, Weber Q or the little Nexgrill from Costco.

The big traegers are great, the ranger sucks!

Also the three above can be used even with stage two fire restrictions, the traeger cannot.

22" blackstone here. Upgraded from the 17". It was just too small and only single burner. My home 28" is too heavy and big for me to bring anywhere.

season it multiple multiple times and also cook bacon. Clean after each use and reapply oil.

Yup I have a 36 I have had for awhile.

I do a camp chef 2 burner with the grill on half and griddle on the other half. Have the full griddle as well for when we cook for large groups.

Is the Blackstone a grill as well? Or just a griddle?
We have the Weber Q and have been eyeballing the griddle accessory for $50.

Blackstone is griddle only.
We carry a 17 blackstone and the Weber Q

Good to know. I'll stick with my setup. Easy to clean and light. Single unit. Next time I see the griddle, I'll pick one up. It's $50 and covers one half of the grill.

I have the 2 burner Blackstone, but it does limit your meal choices.. I'll be adding some kinda BBQ this winter.

I'm considering doing what a lot of people are doing and adding a swing out setup on the back of the enclosed trailer that has the large griddle and a medium sized Traeger. Pricey as hell, but worth it.

I have the Weber q 1100 . You can get a half grill on Amazon for $25. Made pretty well.

Love my camp chef but kinda pain to carry and store everything. Have a 3 burner setup with a flat top. Thinking of going with a portable Blackstone so I can have the lid. Then have a small BBQ for steaks and burgers

I looked into those for my trailer. Holly hell it was money.
Mine was going to be built to store Traeger (tailgater), Weber Q and 17” blackstone.
the issue I ran into was mounting it to the trailer. With a full size rear door/ramp, we were heading towards a custom mounting solution which added even more to the cost.
