Six Great Accessories For Coleman RoadTrip Grills

Tweet

While you don’t need any accessories at all to have a great experience with your grill, you can easily take it to the next level whether you want to cook a variety of ways, save a bit of money on fuel or protect your investment, these accessories are the ticket to a better grilling experience.

Mix and Match Grates

You’ll never run out of ideas when you pick up a couple of extra grates for your grill!

As reported in my reviews, my favorite reason for owning a RoadTrip grill is that accessory cooking grates are available. By default, these grills come with two half-sized grill grates that both fit on the grill at the same time. In itself, that is enough for most people who just want to grill, but I know I can’t be the only one who likes to mix it up a bit!

Fortunately for RoadTrip Grill owners, adding variety to your cookout menu is as easy as pie with any combination of the following grates.

The Stove Grate

I have found this to be a necessity for my camping trips for so many reasons. As it is, the grill grates that come with the grill aren’t great for using with pots and pans. This slim grate that is designed to look and act like an electric stove element and heats up any pot in no time. Heat some water to clean dirty dishes and dirty kids. Get some hot chocolate on the go. You can even plan to make your favorite chili recipe.

The Griddle Grate

I love the griddle grate because I love all things breakfast. Having a griddle grate matched with a grill grate works perfectly for cooking pancakes on one side and breakfast sausages on the other. Having two griddle grates means that I can keep grease from my frying bacon away from my eggs.

This half-sized grate is available in both cast iron and cast aluminum, so be sure to check which one you purchase. If you get the cast aluminum, make sure you don’t let it get too hot because it might melt!

Full Sized Griddle Grate

Planning to cook a lot of pancakes for breakfast at the family reunion? This full-size griddle is a perfect choice. You might ask, why can’t I just use two of the half-sized griddles? Of course you can, but the advantage of this griddle is that you don’t have to worry about a gap going down the middle of your grill.

Not that the griddle should be limited to breakfast. A nice change from the regular BBQ fare could come in the form of chicken fajitas or a tasty stir fry, which is very easy to make with the griddle grate.

Please note that this griddle is only available in cast aluminum, as far as I can tell.

Wheeled Carrying Case

If you plan on dragging your grill to the ends of the earth, or need to store your grill for the winter months, this case is an absolute must. Not only will it protect your investment, but it will also hold all of your other accessories as well as cooking tools and even condiments!

Tall people will really appreciate this case, as we know that it can be difficult for us to tote around the grill by itself. The case, which has its own wheels and handle, is a little longer and in turn a little easier to move around.

If you have a version of the RoadTrip grill that has a handle built into the stand, remember to pop the handle out before trying to get the grill to fit into the case.

Adaptor and Hose for Refillable Tanks

One issue many people have with portable grills using a disposable propane bottle. Some don’t think it’s very economical as compared to refillable tanks, and they aren’t wrong!

Others are more concerned with having to switch bottles out half way through a meal, whether they are in the middle of a tailgate party, or whether they like to cook on their grill a few times a week.

The adaptor hose conveniently allows your grill to run on any size refillable propane tank, making it a perfect accessory for those who aren’t keen on spending money on disposable propane bottles. By the first time you drain your first 20lb tank, you will easily have paid for this hose!

RoadTrip Grill Cover

Whether your RoadTrip grill takes up permanent residence on your balcony, or just an overnight trip at the campground, keeping your grill free of dirt, dust and out of the rain is very important to keep your grill looking and cooking the way it should.

This cover will fully protect your grill when it’s set up and not in use. It’s made of very durable materials, and is heavy enough that it won’t fly away.
