We had to buy a new grill a few yesra ago after pulling the cover off mine in the spring and lighting it only to find out something had built a nest in the burner which caugt fire and burnt up half the grill. I bought this coleman grill2go which is designed small so you can pack it easy and take it whereever you want to go. This made it easy to combine our survival prep gear and our normal everyday gear. If we want to grill out we open the grill2go and grill, then clean it and pack it away. When we go camping or whatever we pack it up and take it with us. So the advantage I get is its not packed deep away where its hard to find if we need it and were familair with it since it gets used often. Its designed to run from the little 1lb propane tanks and I've found I can get about 6-8 meals from a 1lb tank. Then I bought the adapter hose to connect to the 20lb tank from our old grill. So when were around the house I use the big 20lb tank and save our little 1lb ones for taking with us. I took an old picnic basket and packed in the uninsels, come plates, 2 of the 1lb propane tanks, etc so everything we need is handy. So now if power goes out I can cook on our normal grill with no issues, basically my preparadness gear gets tested once every couple weeks.
