Tried a bunch of different grills over the years, and spent a boatload of money. The Weber just works time and time again. Hot enough to sear, with decent controls for cooking slowly.

Blackstone...
I have a double burner Camp Chef with a cast iron top for one burner. Does the job and nice to haul around in the tiny trailer. It would probably work great for floating, too, but that iron takes a good while to cool down.
I got to see a larger Blackstone in action last weekend and was blown away. Impressive.

I have this one which I use for float trips in my drift boat, but bought the Weber Q 2200 for car camping and really like it. Both are solid.

I'll second the Weber Q series. I've got a Q 2200 and is a great grill. Just small enough yet still plenty big for multiple big steaks, couple slabs of baby backs, two of three whole chickens or whatever. It runs on the 1lb bottles but like mentioned above, just buy a propane hose and run it off a full sized tank. I do that when camping and it works great. Love the little fold out side shelves as well.
Like many others, I use a table top frequently but also runs off 1lb and is one burner. But I'm also pretty space limited (damn Prius). Looks like you can get the conversion to run it off the full size tanks. Regarding brands, I have the single burner version of this:
So far, it's been the best of all of the brands I've gone through with regard to longevity, and consistency of heat throughout the burner.

Another vote for the webber q1200, color preference green.

Thanks everyone for your input. I ordered up the Cuisinart CGG306 , which is the 2 burner Clarkman showed. With 2 10,000 btu burners I'll get the heat even on cold windy days. Plus a hose and quick disconnects. I'll use the short hose with regulator that comes with it at home and a 12 foot hose connected to the pre-plumbed outlet on my travel trailer . No regulator on the 12 footer as the trailer is already regulated. Thanks again.
That's why I go with the gas as well. We'll often sous vide up some wings or short ribs or something similar, veggies, etc, then finish on the grill. It's kinda perfect for a mid fishing meal.
I really hated using the 1lb Coleman guys. I literally went through a whole one in a weekend, so I got this conversion tank. It comes with the tank and the adapter. This site often has 20% off coupons and it came to like $80. Given that each coleman tank is 1lb and costs ~$7 and this thing is 5lb and costs like ~3.50 to fill up, it will pay for itself pretty quick.

My dad has an adapter so he just fills up the 1lbers for me so I don’t find them as much a nuisance as others but I like the adapter system ideaI really hated using the 1lb Coleman guys.

Yeah I looked into that as a solution as well and it's definitely a good one.
