What is everyone using for a barbecue in their RV? Need to replace my little Weber. Looking for something small for storage reasons of course.
Same but dont remember paying this much for it with the stand.I have the 22" Blackstone, it stores nice in my front compartment

Little webber and the smallest Blackstone, I think thats the 22.
Wind guards from blackstone for every size grill are on Amazon. Got to have them, even the slightest breeze screws them up.Two suggestions for you guys on the BS.
1) If you have the legs put the grill on it with the logos on the backside. That way if you have the shelf it doesnt get in the way of your propane hose.
2) For a wind guard…it was mentioned on RDP somewhere…go to Dollar Tree and pick up some metal chopping deals in the kitchen-BBQ area. You need 4 if you have the 22”, they slide on the sides and you never have to remove them. $4. fix. Sorry I cant remember which RDP member mentioned it but just passing it on.

i've had the 17" for about 5 years now. i would love to upgrade to the 22" with the cover and stand but i can't wrap my head around the 300% price increase lol. wish i would've grabbed one when they were 99$. when we post up at the river for a month once a year the 4 burner comes out. our little stainless BBQ never got put back in to our most recent trailer for lack of use.

And you get 2 burners. There are 2, 22" models. Get the more expensive one ($174 if I remember) with the removable stand and folding legs. It is waaaaay better for travel. The $99 one is more of a patio model than travel model.22 is quite a lot more efficient than a 17 for sure. Its still very easy to transport, setup and breakdown.
Imma file this in the how did I not think of this category. Thank you.
As far as grills go, I have had the Weber Q and the Costco Nexgrill knockoff. They are great but they are big. If you have the room, great. If not, the 2 burner stainless steel jobs work pretty well for the money/size. You do have to deal with flare-ups though just because of how close the burners are to the grate.
I can't find them for the 22". Maybe your Amazon-foo is better than mine...can you share a link?Wind guards from blackstone for every size grill are on Amazon. Got to have them, even the slightest breeze screws them up.
I'll throw an FYI on this too. I plumbed a quick disconnect from my RV after the regulator and use an extension hose and an adapter to run my Blackstone. No small bottles and the 90* fitting allows the hose to drop straight down, avoiding getting in the way of the shelf.Two suggestions for you guys on the BS.

I did this too and found the propane flow rate was too low on my camper. My quick disconnect is at the back of my 5th wheel, 30 feet away from the tanks though. I was pretty bummed. I might have to replumb. Having to bring along an extra tank sucks, especially on short trips.I'll throw an FYI on this too.

I have heard that older regulators can flow less than a new one. Might be worth swapping out an old one with a new one to see if that solves your low flow issue.
I had the same issue using my RV tank. I may have to crawl under and see if I can run a line without a regulator. I hate having to carry propane bottes, its a PIA.I did this too and found the propane flow rate was too low on my camper.

Yeah, mine goes through around 30 feet of clusterfuckThat could be. Mine comes right off the tank and goes to the 2-stage regulator, then right to my hose connection.
You cant double regulate if thats what your doing . It will cause the issue you are describing .I did this too and found the propane flow rate was too low on my camper.

same here.
Nope. I understand what you are saying and am not. Straight hose from the quick disconnect to the griddle. Only 1 regulator in line. Appreciate the thought though. I know a lot of people make that mistake.You cant double regulate if thats what your doing . It will cause the issue you are describing .
Dam it . I was hoping it was a easy fixNope. I understand what you are saying and am not. Straight hose from the quick disconnect to the griddle. Only 1 regulator in line. Appreciate the thought though. I know a lot of people make that mistake.

so you took the reg off the grille , or there is one on the grille???Nope. I understand what you are saying and am not. Straight hose from the quick disconnect to the griddle. Only 1 regulator in line. Appreciate the thought though. I know a lot of people make that mistake.
take the reg off the grille....I had the same issue using my RV tank. I may have to crawl under and see if I can run a line without a regulator. I hate having to carry propane bottes, its a PIA.
pretty much what every body does,... they count the reg at the grille as one... quick conects on rv's and trailers are low pressure... when you hook up a grille it will be reg, so now 2 reg= 2 low of pressureYou cant double regulate if thats what your doing . It will cause the issue you are describing .
both those have reg at the grille... I have the adapter to remove the one on the blackstone and hook to a high pressure hose
LOL...you are right... and it is an easy fix.... propane pressure is propane pressure...when you loose pressure,.. you 're out of propane...all the plumbing in rv's is low pressureDam it . I was hoping it was a easy fix
these are also high pressure grilles,and will not work on low pressure rv propane... bottles are all high pressureSame but dont remember paying this much for it with the stand.
Also have a Weber Smokey Joe but use the griddle for eveything.
post a pic of the grille and I will tell you if it will ever work or not...Nope. I understand what you are saying and am not. Straight hose from the quick disconnect to the griddle. Only 1 regulator in line. Appreciate the thought though. I know a lot of people make that mistake.
I have same 22 and it won't run on 5 gallon tank with the adapter hose that screws into the small tank fitting. What is the answer you mentioned a hose that replaces the blackstone regulator ? Is that the problem. Thankspretty much what every body does,... they count the reg at the grille as one... quick conects on rv's and trailers are low pressure... when you hook up a grille it will be reg, so now 2 reg= 2 low of pressure
funny, evey rv site has multible threads about this,... and no one seems to get it.....you can buy the new hose to remove the reg from the grille and plug it in.... it's that easy
you have to leave the reg. if you use a propane bottle...I have same 22 and it won't run on 5 gallon tank with the adapter hose that screws into the small tank fitting. What is the answer you mentioned a hose that replaces the blackstone regulator ? Is that the problem. Thanks
