Another two of our most used ‘gadgets on many a camping trip, and which both also served us well during our Shannon Expedition, the Grilliput Portable Grill and accessory ‘firebowl’ pack away neatly and are quick to assemble and disassemble.
The Grilliput packs away into a 29cm long 2.2cm diameter tube, assembling the grill take about five minutes and when assembled it presents a 23×26 cm cooking area, it weighs 560 g.
the firebowl is about 17.5 x7cm in Diameter when folded and 29x7cm when opened, it weighs 290 g, it is a collapsible stainless steel bowl that enables you to light a fire anywhere without scorching the earth. It has adjustable fins allowing you to focus the heat or to spread it out. We packed both of these items into one of our Kayaks during our Shannon Trip and regularly used them to cook lunch and our evening repast.
We have used the grill and bowl to barbecue steaks , burgers and sausages , and we have used both barbecue coals and small pieces of wood as cooking fuel.
The grill has a handy scraper as part of its container which makes it very easy to scrape of grease or small pieces of food off the grill wires before washing and packing them away.
The grill and the bowl are both relatively sturdy, though they did sometimes warp a little in the heat, but when they cool, they resume their shape, ready to be cleaned and neatly folded away. A cheap, highly compact and we think, kinda cool portable cooking solution, available widely online..
