Amazon Basics Heavy Duty Folding Campfire Grill

Product Information

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! Size Choice: Choose from Medium, Large, and Extra Large. We like the extra-large size to easily use it on an open fire pit in a campground. Great Height Adjustment Mechanism: The height adjuster seems sturdy, and we’ve heard fantastic things about it. Cast Iron: Most grills on this list are stainless steel, but this one is of excellent sturdy cast iron. It gives it a very sturdy feel.

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.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. A significant concern for many of our readers is portability. They want a grate they can take to and from their next camping trip. You’ll need a Mallet: If the ground around your fire is hard, you’ll need it to be able to dig the stake. The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen. But we were annoyed that it didn’t have a carry bag. On the other hand, it handles like the ‘RedSwing’ or ‘Perfect Campfire Grill’ grills reviewed in this article. So we give them a little leg up over this one.

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.Minor: If you’re cooking a feast for a large family, consider a larger model like the Adjust-A-Grill Camping Grill. A Lot of Height Options: We like stake-swivel grills like this because you have a lot of room to adjust the height. 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! We recommend swivel-stake grills or flatbed grills when looking for a campfire grill. We suggest testing it out by placing it over the fire once and burning off any excess paints or chemicals before cooking. Oversized: The 18-inch diameter means this one can simultaneously hold and cook a small family’s food.

They’re often Sold Out: We have noticed that it can be hard to get a hold of one of these because they sell out so fast online. But it’s pretty straightforward to construct. First, stab the stake into the ground next to where you will have your fire. If it’s soft ground, this shouldn’t be a problem. But remember that if the land is more demanding, you might need a mallet to get the stake into the ground. 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. 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.

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. Another thing that bothered us a little about this grill is its height from the campfire. Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the size much. Therefore, for the medium, a height of 6 1/2 inches is a little close to the fire for us. Consequently, it would be best to let it burn down to charcoals before cooking (which is good practice anyway – but we get impatient). 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 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.
