I have tried a couple different compact gas grills. None seem to work very well. My go to camping grill is the Weber Smokey Joe. Pretty hard to beat a Weber Kettle... It also works as a small portable fire pit and the grate can be used over a ground fire.

BroncoHauler got me addicted to Woot. The Cobb Grill is woot of the day (9/28/2011). Expires at end of the day. 69.99 + $5 shipping. I don't see a 50% off accessories this time.

The 50% off accessories code is wootdeal23

BroncoHauler owes you some money then, woot is horribly addicting. Especially wine.woot.com. I may have to get a second job to support that one.

I bought the Coleman propane stove/grill. Maybe not as good as the old models but seems pretty versatile.

These are probably good butane stoves:

But I bought two really cheap ($10!) butane stoves for just quick water boiling for MREs or whatever (got one for my other car too):

My question is, where can you get butane? (You don't use butane lighter fluid)

REI doesn't have it. Some places said to try asian markets or catering supply stores.
Any ideas?

If you are in the PNW, try Cash and Carry or any Restaurant supply house.

Ok, I found some at Ace, but they are too long (ie length of aerosol can) and won't fit in the storage case in the unit, though they do fit the stove and hang out the back. I assume the restaurant ones are shorter?

I couldn't help but share this one. Size yes, price...sometimes grills are that important.

Seems like white gas (early unleaded, low octane) pre-dated Coleman fuel. It was about 25¢/gal; Coleman fuel was never that cheap. I've always suspected that Coleman gasoline stoves were the reason concrete picnic tables replaced wooden ones.
I'm going to give the Cobb system a try. Partly curiosity; partly because it looks like it would make my life easier; mostly because I'm a sucker for multi-function kits like that.

I have a 70's-80's Coleman 3 burner white gas camp stove. You have to
Pump the tank 35 times and it has a stand inside along with the tank. The unit is a suitcase like metal box dimensions are approx 32"lx9"hx16"d the lid pops up and has wind blocking sides. It's no grill but it's the best stove. They don't make em like they used to. I use charcoal in a small webber. And at home charcoal in my big webber.
