I love my little Q for tailgating. I found that it was too much trouble to worry about having enough gas in the disposable propane bottles. I got a little refillable tank, (maybe 5lb?) and now I am very happy not having to worry about having enough gas for an picnic or tailgate. The little Q performance does benefit from a 10 to 15 minute warm up so having plenty of gas is a good thing. The small refillable tank costs almost as much as a full size tank but the convenience of the lighter and smaller tank is worth it in my experience.
