We have cooked full meals in our Westy. But we're hoping to minimize cooking smoky/splattery stuff in there. Most noticeably, bacon and/or sausage for breakfast. We need a grill to cook on, as well (most of our meals at home include some grill stuff and some burner stuff).

So we ordered this burner/grill combo.

So far we've christened it with some steaks. The grill doesn't clean up very well ... the alleged "no-stick" will not be on there for long. So we'll soon be replacing that grill with a good no-stick something ... maybe a small griddle, or else a basic metal grill.

Mostly where we camp there's a picnic table to set it on. I'm also looking for a portable table (to replace the Westy ones, which we find to be quite annoying). Anyone have suggestions? The needs are size of 3' by 2' (give or take a half-foot either dimension), and lightweight.
