Cooking Grills at Base Camp

[rbljack]

Looking to weld up a camp grill or tripod for cooking around basecamp. This isn't a project for backpack trips, just looking to see and hear what yall use when you can pull it out of the truck, start a fire, set up a camp grill over or next to the fire and do some cooking. Lets see what yall are using.

Ill be doing some searches on the internet, but always looking to hear what works, what doesn't, etc.

my panniers always have a very light weight grill in them, it is probably 10x12. it fits along the side and takes up no room. last year i started to carry 2 pieces of heavy wire to make kabobs with. the wire also doubles to keep a pan level on the campfire.

there is also a flexible cutting board beside the grill on the side of the pannier. even with the pannier top to cut on, the flexible cutting board gets used plenty. it is not much thicker than a sheet of paper and weighs about as much as a sheet of paper. handy.

I have a fold out grill that's about 16"x24" from Walmart for $28. Works perfect
Look in sporting goods by all of their camping supplies

I have a grill I welded up in high school metal shop. It is at my parents house so I don't have the exact dimensions but I think it is about 15"x30". It has adjustable legs but if I were to build another it would have folding legs because we never adjust the height and folding legs would make it more convenient for transport and storage. We just control the heat by how much fire we put under it. We use an oblong fire ring so we can have a campfire and shovel the coals under the grill for cooking.

Call me lazy, I love my Weber Q for basecamps. A lot of times we don't do fires.

We typically have one of those cheap small propane grills that we can bring under a canopy fir bad weather. If the weather is good, we use just the grill part of my weber, Typical rock fire pit with the weber grill across and leveled. Nothing too fancy or hard to transport.
