Questions and answers
- Which is better for camping?
- The Adventure Ready 17. At 7 lb it goes in a trunk or boat and sets up in minutes. The On The Go is better for a basecamp where you park and stay.
- Which cooks more food at once?
- The On The Go. It has 361 sq in and fits about 14 burgers; the 17-inch has 267 sq in and fits about 11.
- Is the 2-burner worth the extra money?
- Yes if you cook for four or more or want separate heat zones. For one or two people the single burner covers most meals.
- Which is easier to clean?
- Both use a rear grease system. The 17-inch has less surface to scrape, but the On The Go's two zones can leave more residue between the plates.
- Can one person move the On The Go?
- It weighs 59.75 lb, so lifting it alone is awkward. Fold it and roll or carry it with two people.
- Do both run on propane?
- Yes. Both use propane; the 17-inch puts out 12,500 BTU and the On The Go 21,000 BTU across two burners.
