Those are nice! I’m well prepared and live out in the boonies with overbearing family members that keep buying me propane bottles for some reason lol. I’ve also seen some that are “smokeless and odorless” grills but they’re pretty high value 300-500.
By week 3 or 4 when people are desperate for food and they smell you cooking outside, they will show up for it.
Don't cook smelly food. Also, don't cook when the wind is blowing. If you must cook something that smells, cook it around 3AM when no one else is awake. Then you can just warm it up the next day and eat. A sun oven is a free way to cook a lot of things. I wouldn't use a grill at all, at least for a long time and things get more settled after a collapse.
I would recommend this for cooking using biofuel instead of propane. Most people can get virtually unlimited sticks around where they live…

Yes, that was my worry too. More people showing up than you can feed.
I have a home made rocket stove for just in case. Daughter is a welder.
You can make hobo stoves from coffee cans.
Yes, but where do I get the coffee cans?
