Great fortight budgetssmall spaces & travelreal charcoal flavor

Good for campers who already build campfires and want a sturdy grill/griddle to set over them, but check your campsite's fire-ring surface first since the stake needs to go into ground, not concrete.

Pros

  • Strong, pre-oiled steel construction without flaky coatings, according to a professional-chef reviewer
  • Comes with carrying bags for portability
  • Versatile grill-and-griddle combo for open-fire cooking
  • Easy on the wallet ($190)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Relies on a ground stake, so it isn't usable on all fire-ring surfaces
  • A few reports of tray angle or weld quality issues
  • Not a self-contained grill — needs an existing campfire or fire pit
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Charcoal/fire tray on some units is angled steeply enough that fuel can spill and cause uneven cooking
  • At least one report of a weld/nut connecting the top and bottom sections breaking during initial setup
  • Ground stake can be hard to drive into rocky ground or concrete fire-ring pads at some campsites
