A significant concern for many of our readers is portability. They want a grate they can take to and from their next camping trip. The thing we like about this grill is its simplicity and elegance. It doesn’t have any additional ‘bells and whistles. All you have is the 28″ stake and the grilling plate, which you attach to the stake. 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). 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. 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.

The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen. You’ll need a Mallet: If the ground around your fire is hard, you’ll need a mallet to get the stake to pierce it.Sometimes there’s an included grate at the campground (see image below).

Unfortunately, this can burn your fingers! Not very Tall: It sits low to the ground, meaning you must let the fire burn down to coals before using it. 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.
