It was beach front property for a while...
It seems as though a small debate has surfaced over "gas v. coal."
Not to distract from the Flay v. McDonald discussion, but for expedition purposes, propane is my personal preference.
Most portable propane (gas) grills don't provide the btu output for high dry-direct heat cooking, but experienced cooks can learn to deal with this. You can cook a kick-ass steak on a Weber Go Anywhere grill, but its best use is for items such as burgers, sausages and chicken. In addition many of us employ some form of propane system (lanterns, stoves, bulk propane) and the grill is simply just another member of the family.
Plus who wants to wait for coals or the additional baggage of bringing a sack of coals and the cost of propane is pretty damn cheap.

Fast and clean too! FYI: The Solaire will cook faster than I typically want it to...I , after preheating for just 5-minutes, need to throttle it down after both sides are seared (meat).

I have this grill they are sold at Walmart for around $30. I originally thought it would last one season but it's three years old and still in good shape. The warming rack is a great feature. And it latches closed. Around here charcoal cooking is often banned so gas is a better option, plus you can grill up hot dogs or burgers for lunch with very little drama.

I don't know if I have any business talking about something that is no longer made, but for compactness it is hard to beat the Pyromid. It folding stainless steel grill that packs into a unit 1" thick. I've been using the 12" model on and off for years.
It is designed to work on 9 briquettes, though I usually through in a few more around the corners. Curiously, while looking up references on the web I found instructions on how to use the briquettes in other arrangements for longer, lower heat. I'll have to experiment with it some more.
I've also been experimenting with a 10" aluminum dutch oven, but that is another thread.

That is still the best price I can find.
I think this thing may be an ideal camp grill and now I want one too.
You can cut your chicken in half since it cooks fast or use kaboobs and such:chowtime:

Graham,
I don't know if anybody else caught your tongue-in-cheek comment, but that's what the hell I'm talking about! KISS principle rules. Muddy Oval all the way.
