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.
