Product Information

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 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. Swivel Stake Grills. These are probably our favorite types of campfire grills. They are held in the ground by a single stake which you usually hammer in with a mallet or piece of wood. Then, the grill attaches to the stake. A nice thing about these grills is that they can swivel. So when your food cooks, swivel so the grate is no longer above the fire to let it sit. The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen. We love that this one allows you to choose from a wide range of sizes. The medium size comes in at 16″ x 12″ x 6 1/2″, while the extra-large comes in at 36″ x 18″ x 8″. When the legs fold in, it’s about 1″ deep.

So, it fits a lot of food on the grill surface. It could probably feed a small family easily.

Unfortunately, this can burn your fingers! We think the larger model is a nice size for cooking breakfast for a few people. In contrast, the medium option is perhaps too small for us. 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!

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

Made in USA (15x21) 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. Tripods. Tripods are our most minor favorite types of campfire cooking equipment. They look nice, but we find them impractical. Our primary concern is that the grate tends to swing, meaning it’s pretty useless for grilling. It works if you want to place a pot of water on to boil, though. The other worry about tripods is that the legs tend to get in the way. We prefer a grate where the legs are below the grate and don’t cut off our access to the grate itself. 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. You’ll need a Mallet: If the ground around your fire is hard, you’ll need it to be able to dig the stake.Comparable to the “CampfireGrill” grill above, this one comes with a heavy-duty nylon bag for transportation.
