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. 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. Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Cast Iron x Steven Raichlen SR8024 Best of Barbecue Tuscan BBQ Grill,14 The Campfire Grill company has included a carry bag, hot pad, glove in this kit, and wrenches for constructing and deconstructing the grill.

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. 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. The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen.Please note, this is a quality and very rugged item that will last for many years, unlike cheaper alternatives.

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. Swivel: You can swivel the grate 360 degrees. Swivel it away from the fire to let the food cool down when you finish cooking.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). But again, you’ll need a mallet to hammer the stake into more complex soil. But we’d recommend placing a piece of wood between the stake and the mallet to prevent damage to the top of the stake. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. Easy Assemble: We love that you don’t have to use tools to construct and deconstruct this campfire grill grate.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. 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! 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! 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. 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.
