For our grill I run. Weber Q1200 in conjunction with a lodge chiefs platter. I can 90% of our meals on this combo. It is currently complimented by a colman 2 burner stove but since all I ever do is boil on it I am looking at other options. Oh i also run a lodge dutch oven.

I need to get new on the go cooking gear, last one I had was my whisper lite that I used for backpacking (loved that little guy too). Love the saucer/disk cooker (looks highly portable) would love to cook on one.

I recently purchased a Solo Stove Campfire on deal. It's a great fire pit for cooking over. For grilling, I bought a stainless steel, round grate which I guess is typically used for hibachi. The grill has three "legs" which fits pretty well over the Solo Stove to prevent the grate from slipping off. Throw in some lit coals into the Solo Stove, pop on the grate and we are pretty much good to go. We're only a family of three so cookouts, especially grilling, isn't a whole ordeal so this setup works. After we're done with the grilling, the grate can be popped into a ziplock bag after its cooled off. Then the Solo Stove can hold a small campfire.

My wife "The Boss" prefers a civilized dinner most nights so I bring along our Japanese Grill table. Packs up small and runs off the Butane Canisters that are pretty cheap. Usually a pot of steamed rice sits next to the grill and stays warm during dinner. We rarely camp without sliced Brisket, I think we eat better at camp then home lol.

That's a nice set up!
 
I use backpacking set ups a lot but recently purchased a cadac safari chef 2. The local academy had a sale on them. It is honestly the coolest thing I have purchased to date.

I try not to overthink it. I usually plan to cook everything on a fire but plans change or I want coffee ASAP in the AM so in those cases I use an old Coleman 2- burner stove that I got at an Army/Navy store ~20 years ago.

Whoa, that Japanese Grill Table is very cool. Now I want to make a round folding table to go 'round a Skottle grill.

It all depends on who, how many, how long the trip. I know a fridge/freezer dual zone would open so many new options, and leave the door open to more Fresh Food selections over prepackaged store selections. Just a weekend excursion makes the zip-loc bag prep, easier, as only 3 meals are likely involving a stove.
 
I agree that it is had to beat cooking over a hot bed of coals. I take some Apple Wood with me when fires are legal to use. Makes a great bed of coals to cook on. And steaks just seem to taste better! But with all the fires the Western States have had the last couple of years, I came up with a portable mid size BBQ Grill. Got this from Sportsman Warehouse. Vance.

Im also trying to lighten up packing thr fj, or atleast make room for different stuff. Gonna ditch the small propane bbq for a small burner. The bbq frequently stays in the truck anyway and we fire cook.

I've tried many grills over the years as well as campfire cooking. Living out west, I've settled on a Weber Q. Safe, sane, reasonably priced, and does a good, not great job. Like much in life, it's a compromise but a pretty good one in this case.
 
I use an old, 25 year, Coleman 2 burner but man I'm really liking the Blackstone 17". My only question with it is, can you put a coffe percolator on it or do you need another source of fire to boil with?
