Here is what I would worry about. Assuming you keep it far enough from your Jeep to not light it on fire, you are stuck with really hot coals or at least a really hot grill for a while. If you are wheeling, you need to account for the time it will take to get back to the trails as I wouldn't think you would want to head out until it cooled off. If that isn't a concern, it is a really fun idea!

THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!! I am not sure if my JK would pull that, but I guarantee my 1989 Grand Wagoneer would pull it. I started looking for propane tanks yesterday and pulled up a big goose egg. There are a few places south of here that may have old, out-dated tanks but I bet one of those will go for $400 or more for a 500-gallon tank.

Heres mine just a small grill for some burgers and dogs on the beach. It slides in the front of the cooler basket and comes off sits beside cooler in travel mode. Everything I built out of aluminum and tig welded but the grill its self it came from lowes for around $80.

A 50 gallon drum cut in half is pretty popular for a bbq. I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find one for really cheap if not free that didn't house some kind of deadly chemical.

Still have a lot of work to do, but keep running into "what ifs", so I figured we will test it to get more ideas. Will definitely post finished pics when done.
