Compact Portable Grill Grate

I decided to stop dragging my portable grill along and start trying to grill more over an open fire. I was looking for a compact grill grate and came across this one. It all disassembles and stores in one of the tubes. Will be trying it out next weekend in Anza Borrego.

That looks grate! (Sorry)

I also noticed this telescoping tube on the page:

To be used to blow on the fire. I’ve carried a 5’ piece of 3/8” aquarium tubing for the same purpose for many years. Either would be a real handy accessory for fire-tending. If you’ve never used a bellows, you’d be amazed by how helpful some air in the right place for a few seconds can be. The tube/tubing lets you do so without having to get your face close to the fire. Don’t breathe in, though...

 

That’s a fantastic design idea. After reading a few of the reviews it will be interesting to hear how it holds up after a few uses.

 

I tried something like that few years ago, I was not that good with it, I have to stick to my portable weber

 

For a fire bellows I found this works the best. https://www.amazon.com/Powered-Outd...&qid=1542222970&sr=1-2&keywords=crank+bellows

 

So how well does the grill work?

 

Ben,

To be honest, it's a bit of a pain to assemble and not height adjustable. I looked at a couple of other products. Really liked the Wolf and Grizzly grill but is is very expensive at $100. The M1 Grill Kit

Ending up purchasing a Bob-A-Que for $40. A bit larger but comes with a very nice canvas carrying case. Going to try it out this weekend.

Hi Randy, Thanks for the review. I'm thinking of just getting a plain grate to use over a fire. I will use logs or rocks to hold it up:
