BonFire Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 Scored one of these couple of years ago.....took it away with us Easter just gone. Just stores in its own dedicated box bit of charcoal and wood, and cooks up a treat. 2
Pequod Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 I’m planning on a PK360 being my portable grill
ckreef Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 I have a Akorn Jr and a Primo Oval Jr with GO cradle for portable kamados. The Akorn Jr I've carried down to a beach in the past. The Primo Oval Jr would be too heavy to carry any distance but is a good size if it's staying on the back of your truck. Bubba Keg is a larger steel kamado that has a tow hitch cradle option.
SSgt93 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 A Weber Kettle is light and a very capable unit for tailgates. If you want a Kamado style, the BGE Mini Max is a nice unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Alphonse Posted September 8, 2019 Report Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I am a fan of PK grills and personally have a PK 360. I am quite pleased with the grill and use it fairly often. For the RV, I have also considered an Original PK that folds up. It is not heavy and easy to haul. I am not keen on a hitch mounted grill. I would store this one and pull it out when needed. PK sells a stand for their Original that allows you to put the grill on a flat surface like a hitch mounted table. In fact, PK often offers an incentive of including the small stand as part of the grill package. If you or someone close is a real DIYer, you could fabricate a hitch mount for the PK360. It is easily removed from its pedestal stand. (There is a knob for removing it from the pedestal - circled in red in photo below.) The side tables on the PK360 are easily removed as well.

Jon B. Posted September 9, 2019 Report Posted September 9, 2019 I first bought the Kamado Joe Jr. as my Tailgate grill but it was a little heavy to carry a distance and being ceramic .......needed to be careful transporting. Bought the Acorn Jr. and have been quite happy with it. Much lighter and less fragile. Works great for it's size. Also have a Cobb grill. Super portable, works great but limited in cooking space. My son-in-law has the PK Original. He loves it. Light weight cast aluminum and tons of cooking space. If you are looking for a hitch mounted grill....... Alphonse's idea with the PK 360 is a great option. Cobb Grill 2
IndGrill Posted December 29, 2020 Report Posted December 29, 2020 I know this is an old thread, but take a look at M Grills C4. No connection to the company other than as a customer. 2
Jon B. Posted December 29, 2020 Report Posted December 29, 2020 I did check it out before I bought the PKGo. Looks like a nice grill but they advertise it mostly as a high temp steak cooker for that BBQ circuit. I'm waiting for @ckreef to get one and post his review 😀 1 5
RokDok Posted December 29, 2020 Report Posted December 29, 2020 That looks a lovely bit of kit @IndGrill
Forrest Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Big Green Egg MiniMax is my choice. It is about 100 lbs. I have no issues carrying it by myself with the integrated handles, however I understand it is easier to move it with two people. The removable foldable nest and egg mates make it an awesome tailgate or camping setup.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
