I thought I'd throw a poll in too, jff. I know people get pretty set on how they grill!
Have at it. Cheers.

Inside one of these:
With room for this too:
PROS: Very light. Completely contained. Keeps smells contained.
CONS: Bulky, takes up space.

I'm leaning toward propane though, less mess?

I've used one of these (and earlier versions of the same thing...after breaking control knobs letting it slide around in the bed of my pickup) for probably 15-20 years. I like the convenience (can't get more convenient than: 1) turn it on/ignite, 2) cook, 3) turn it off and put it away), it performs well enough for my purposes, and is large enough for my purposes (though probably not large enough for large family/group).
The photo shows it with a disposable propane container, but of course it will also work with a full-size tank-and-hose with the right adapter.
I stow it in what's supposed to be the porta-potty spot of my Hawk; it would also fit in the under-couch stowage.

MarK,
I like the looks of that one and it is even made in the USA!
Couldn't tell from the web site though if it uses the lava rock crap or plates of some kind?

A metal plate -- shaped like the roof of a classic tent or simple house. They call it the "flavorizor system/bar"...as in, the meat drippings hit the hot plate and create "flavor".
Here's a top view of the tent-shaped plate -- the tube that distributes the flame is hidden underneath, preventing flare-up:

I was checking out the Napoleon Travel Q at the Toronto Sportsman's Show recently, but haven't looked at enough alternatives to pull the trigger on anything.

My Hawk has the dinette option so I store it between the two seats. There is a slider that fits in there and makes it a great storage location for large items.
Here's a picture of it mounted to the trailer:
Here's a couple of pictures of it freestanding:

The bag is like this. Very tough and durable.
