Even though most people enjoy aspects of camping like communing with nature or sleeping under the stars, some people are put off by cooking outdoors. Whether it’s the dirt, germs, prep work, or not knowing how to cook in the outdoors that doesn’t appeal to you, we’re here to let you know it doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are just a few simplistic cooking devices that will cut down on your gear load but still let you cook with the most basic of skills.
Coghlan’s Deluxe Broiler – $8.95
If you’re just looking to cook your catch of the day over a nice warm campfire, you don’t really need much more than Coghlan’s Deluxe Broiler. With a 9 x 13 inch surface, you can easily grill a couple fish fillets or sliced veggies over the coals, and the extension handle gives this broiler 26 inches of overall length to ensure your hands stay free of the flame. A locking ring keeps the food sandwiched in place between the chrome-plated sides, and at just 1 inch thick, it slides neatly into small spaces for compact storage. Outdoor cooking doesn’t get much easier than that!
Rome Pioneer Camp Grill – $11.95
Grilling food for more than one or two people can also be facilitated very easily with the Rome Pioneer Camp Grill. This folding grill is constructed from thin gauge chrome-plated steel, which saves a great deal on packing weight and space, but is sturdy enough to support several burgers, sausages, or potatoes for a fire-grilled camp meal. Just set up over the campfire and you’re ready to cook!
Esbit Foldable BBQ Box – $70.95 FREE SHIPPING!
Some campsites and recreation areas don’t allow open campfires, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a charbroiled steak or juicy corn on the cob while you play in the outdoors.

It even comes with a bag of charcoal and convenient carrying bag with handle, so you’re ready to grill no matter where you are!
