BBQ, yours or theirs?

[Jim]

When staying at a campground for several days, and that campground furnishes a charcoal BBQ for you to use, do you prefer to use your own gas BBQ or the charcoal BBQ furnished by the park?

This poll is limited to 2 options only! And yes, we've all been to resorts where there is a gas BBQ at the slip, but this poll isn't about those places. This pole is only for those who prefer to drag out their own Gas BBQ (for whatever reasons) instead of using the Charcoal BBQ that is furnished at the park.

Thank you everyone!

Never know what the guy before me was doing. We try to use our own stuff for things whenever possible for things we’re putting in or taking out of our bodies.

I agree with @MapNerd. And, unless the "charcoal BBQ supplied by the park" also comes with a pretty good supply of charcoal/briquettes, I wouldn't be able to use it anyway since I don't carry any on board the coach.

I too, prefer to use my own. As I do not know what has or hasn't previously been on their grill!

I'll use your pizza oven @Jim. I know it's been properly seasoned

I'm sorry Neal, the pizza oven idea didn't make the first-year cut. But hopefully the following year?

The cost of pineapple seasoning oil go up, @Jim?

lol, no. The time left to complete an RV Park in an remote location where local construction permits are issued by inspectors who are more interested in hunting than doing their job is, well... challenging.

I’m airlifting one in. Ordered flying a helicopter for dummies. Be there in a few days.

 

[MapNerd]

Like I said, never know what the guy before me was doing. Might have been cooking pineapple pizza on a stone on the grill, which not only ruins the grill but also contaminates the entire site.

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

On a bit of a more serious note, over the years I have seen people burn garbage, dog poop and other nasty stuff in site BBQs. That keeps me from using them with any confidence. I realize that @Jim will run a great RV park, but he won't be able to totally control what some knucklehead does.

We always cook on our own equipment, even in very nice places with outdoor kitchens. We also carry a little Pizza Pronto propane oven that makes darned fine pizzas, no pineapple allowed? Judy D

 

[RKins]

We don't carry charcoal.

 

[whereRVapp]

We carry a small bag of charcoal for when the kids want to some Dutch oven cooking, but even then I don’t have confidence in the prior campers capers or the park’s ability to properly clean.

Wow, 12 out of 12 people won't use it even if it's there! On one hand, I like the idea of not buying a bunch of bbq's, but a campground without a bbq doesn't seem quite right. You all realize I'm talking about a pedestal bbq, right?

 

[Neal]

They rust and they are a waste IMHO. People dump their food in there. For example I have a blackstone griddle, where do you think people dump their grease collection? Fire pits and grills I've seen. I've seen cigarettes in there, it's disgusting. They wouldn't be missed, they are an eye sore. If people like to grill they will bring their own. If you get complaints and/or requests, react to it. This is something you can test your market and change later. It's also a hazard, imagine a MapKid riding a bike into that and getting a serious injury. It may work good though for me to attach a 30ft dog lead to, hmmm. Okay, that's my $.02.

Well, there you go!


lol, mapkid.

In over 50 years of camping I don’t recall ever using campgrounds bbq. When I was younger I did put a grate over a campfire and cook, young and dumb then.

Nice BBQ but would prefer a campfire grill. Still wouldn't use the grill but would have the fire, that is nice option.
