Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best portable grill for camping?
It depends on how you travel. For backpacking and small sites, a collapsible grate-style grill works well; for car camping with a group, a folding tabletop propane grill is faster to feed a crowd.
How do I keep a camping grill from rusting?
Season cast iron and carbon steel grates after every trip, store the grill dry, and never pack it away while it is still warm and wet. See our full grill rust prevention guide.
Are portable propane grills allowed in campgrounds?
Most campgrounds allow them outside of fire-ban seasons, but rules vary by park and fire-danger level. Always check current fire restrictions before you go.
