Amazon Basics Heavy Duty Folding Campfire Grill

Product Information

You get a choice of two sizes – medium (13.6″ x 9″ x 6.5″) and large (17″ x 12.6″ x 5.7″). Those heights drop to 1″ when folded. Unfortunately, both sizes are small compared to some larger competitors – but again, it’s designed this way for portability. Swivel Stake Grills. These are probably our favorite types of campfire grills. They are held in the ground by a single stake which you usually hammer in with a mallet or piece of wood. Then, the grill attaches to the stake. A nice thing about these grills is that they can swivel. So when your food cooks, swivel so the grate is no longer above the fire to let it sit. Comparable to the “CampfireGrill” grill above, this one comes with a heavy-duty nylon bag for transportation. It has an up-turned edge to prevent your sausages from rolling into the fire. And like the CampfireGrill, the handle can get hot if you adjust the height during the cooking. You’ll need a Mallet: If the ground around your fire is hard, you’ll need it to be able to dig the stake.

Campfire Grill Heavy Duty Steel Grate, Over Fire Camp REDCAMP Swivel Campfire Grill Heavy Duty Steel Grate, Over Fire

Easy Assemble: We love that you don’t have to use tools to construct and deconstruct this campfire grill grate. The stake has a 360-degree swivel. Therefore, once your food cooks, you can swivel it away from the fire to allow time for the food to cool. We think the larger model is a nice size for cooking breakfast for a few people. In contrast, the medium option is perhaps too small for us. Very high-quality folding steel fire grill which is large enough to cook for lots of people. Ideal for camping, bushcraft, picnics or may even be used in the fireplace. The grill surface is made from iron and designed to be used over an open fire. The cooking surface is ideal to cook on as it is, or can be used as a support for cooking in Dutch ovens, and other cast iron cookware.

We’re looking at 24″ L x 16″ W regarding grate size. We think that’s a good size for a small group of campers. In addition, sometimes, the stake secures firmly into the ground. In that case, you can place quite a few pots and pans on the grill itself. It’s Small: While it’s nice and compact in grilling, you’ll be competing for space on this one. Best for just one or two campers max. It might be too small for more giant fire pits. Please note, this is a quality and very rugged item that will last for many years, unlike cheaper alternatives. This particular grill from their campfire range is an 18-inch round grate. Think extra-large pizza size. So, it fits a lot of food on the grill surface. It could probably feed a small family easily. The other downside here is that the legs are only 4 inches high. While this is not as much height as we’d like, it means you’ll need to let the fire burn down to charcoals before cooking. Of course, this is good practice, but we’re impatient and love to start cooking right away, like most people.

Heavy Duty Large Campfire Grill, Fully Adjustable Swiveling BBQ with long handle, Lifetime Durability, Perfect for Fire pits and rings. Easily portable for camping. Made in USA (15x21) On the flip side, it is much thinner and less sturdy than iron grills that you can install and leave above a fire pit for an extended period. Its defining feature is its patented raised edge that loops around the rim. It essentially acts as a wall so that this grill prevents food from falling off the grill.Tripods. Tripods are our most minor favorite types of campfire cooking equipment. They look nice, but we find them impractical. Our primary concern is that the grate tends to swing, meaning it’s pretty useless for grilling. It works if you want to place a pot of water on to boil, though. The other worry about tripods is that the legs tend to get in the way. We prefer a grate where the legs are below the grate and don’t cut off our access to the grate itself. Sometimes there’s an included grate at the campground (see image below). Like a friend enjoying a beer after a long drive from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone. Practical and straightforward: You’re getting a no-nonsense product here. It does the job and doesn’t have any added bells and whistles. We particularly like that this one has stabilizing fins at the base of the stake. The fins add to the overall feel that it’s a sturdy stake campfire grill. If you manage to hammer it in the entire length of the underground section into firm soil, the stake isn’t going to fall. There’s no way your food will fall off mid-fire!

The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen. This model is a very nicely made stake and swivel-style campfire grill. This feature is our favorite type due to the better control over height and position than most other styles. We love that this grate can be assembled and deconstructed without tools. However, it is pretty bulky, so it’s not the most portable campfire grill on the list. A Lot of Height Options: We like stake-swivel grills like this because you have a lot of room to adjust the height. Gets Hot: All grills get hot (obviously), but you’re often tempted with height-adjustable stake grills like this one to adjust the height mid-fire. Unfortunately, this can burn your fingers!Great Height Adjustment Mechanism: The height adjuster seems sturdy, and we’ve heard fantastic things about it.

We like that swivel stake grills tend to have the most range for adjusting the height of the grate. They can usually move up and down the 20 inches or so of stake above ground. We noticed that this grill is not as big as it looks. While in the photos online, it seems enormous; it’s just 14 inches x 14 inches. So, the size makes it a grill for a small family.

Choose your Size: You can choose between medium and large sizes for this one – although both sizes are pretty small relative to other outdoor campfire grills. You’ll have about 17 inches of height to play with, and you can screw the grate at any size. Both mean you can get it to the perfect height for whatever you’re cooking. It’s got a considerable grilling area. At 15″ wide x 22″ long, it’s large enough for a decent family to cook their hamburgers all at once. We love that this one allows you to choose from a wide range of sizes. The medium size comes in at 16″ x 12″ x 6 1/2″, while the extra-large comes in at 36″ x 18″ x 8″. When the legs fold in, it’s about 1″ deep. Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Cast Iron x Steven Raichlen SR8024 Best of Barbecue Tuscan BBQ Grill,14
