Sometimes we can get too hung up in modern day technologies and want all the latest and greatest camping gadgets to take on our trips. Sometimes its better to get back to basics and remember the finer things in camping that we enjoy. The tripod campfire grill is one of those bits of kit that makes camping what it is.

These grills are little beauties to cook on and make a great little feature in the middle of your campsite to set up around for the evening. Theres nothing quite like a cooked meal over an open campfire grill. The tripod grill set up was even used by cowboys!

The tripod grills have many benefits and features some of which are shown below:

• Lightweight
• Easy to carry
• Sturdy and safe desgin
• Easy to cook on
• Made of steel and nickel
• Economical – around $20 – $30 range

The tripods are also very easy to set up most come with a set of poles that you can pop into the top and then you just attach the chain hung grill to the top and off you go cooking up some nice grub.

The tripod campfire grill is a nice little addition to add into your camping gear you could even get a new one for every trip at these prices.

So we already talked a bit about campfire grills and some of the points to take into consideration when setting one up or buying a campfire grill. We mentioned very briefly about an adjustable campfire grill.

The explanation of what is does is in the name really – adjustable. With basic campfire cooking setups you don’t have the ability to change how high or low the flames of your fire are. This as you can imagine can effect how well your food is cooked. It can be cooked a bit to much or too little.

With adjustable campfire grills though you are able to adjust the height of the grill safely giving you greater control of where your food is in regards to height above or in the flame. Most adjustable campfire grills have several settings of height so make sure you get what is most suitable to you.

Another great little feature of some adjustable grills are a campfire swing grill. This is when the grill has the ability to swing your food in and out of the flames at your convenience.

For even greater control you can also get adjustable rotisserie grills. This rotates around the flame giving you more evenly cooked food. This is the kind of action we would naturally do when using the old stick cooking method.

Campfire grills that are adjustable are a great choice to take on any camping trip.

I’m sure we can all agree one of the most memorable and exciting parts of going camping is sitting down after having a great day and enjoying some delicious food prepared over a campfire grill. There is nothing quite like the taste of food cooked over an open fire.

There are many types of campfire grills that can be used whilst cooking food over a fire and we can hopefully give you some ideas and advice in choosing the correct campfire grill within this article.

What campfire grill plans are there?

There are a few options for campfires, some are basic and some are more advanced and cost more money. Here are some campfire grill plans below:

A Coleman Stove or Gas Grill

Well if you camp on a regular basis you may want to invest in a Coleman stove or some kind of gas grill. With these two options you have the most control over your cooking. You can start it up with little effort using the click of a button or twist of a knob and you can then determine how high or low you want your cooking flame giving you that perfect cooking environment for your sausages or burgers.

A Do it Yourself Campfire Grill

You may think a Coleman stove or gas grill is cheating a bit though and decide to go for the more back to basics options and build your own campfire and grill setup. All you basically need is a safe area with plenty of space. Ensure there is enough space for the fire and nothing will catch alight.

For fuelling the fire you may use some charcoal you brought or use some nearby wood. The best type of wood to look for is dead wood as this is dry and free of moisture. You can also look for some kindling which is any dry dead twigs etc. Some camps or parks may provide the wood so be sure to check this out firstly also. Best thing to do before setting up your campfire is to make sure you have enough to build a decent fire with as you don’t want to be searching for more supplies half way through.

So once the fire has been built (not lit yet) you then need to set up a makeshift grill to cook on. Using some stones or bricks on either side of the fire build it up to the desired height and then lay your grill across. You can then start your campfire and begin cooking.

If you don’t have a grill you can always do the old scout cooking method and cook your food on a skewer or stick which will give you the control to move the stick up and down etc to cook your food the way you want it.

A PreMade Campfire Grill

One of the best and most convenient options is a campfire grill that you buy from any good camping or outdoor shops. Basically made of metal and steel its all set to go, you can just add some coal, light it up and as they say bobs your uncle.

There are some different features that these sets have and you should think about. To find out more check out adjustable campfire grills and tripod campfire grills.

Some points to keep in mind when buying a campfire grill

You should think about the size of grill you are taking with you on your camping trips, is it too big or too small. The size will also determine how you will you transport also. Another point with transport is does the set up have its own carry case or not.

You also need to keep in mind how easy the grill will be to clean. I’m sure you don’t want to spend a long period of your trip cleaning your grill before packing it up and heading off again.

The type of campfire grill you get may also determine what you want to buy. Some grills have a one inch raised edge which is pretty cool as this can stop stuff rolling off the edge of your campfire grill and into the fire. Some grills also have two tiers which enable you to move cooked stuff out the way of the flames/heat but allow it still to stay warm.
