A good grill setup makes camp cooking easier, safer, and more predictable. This Grills & Accessories category brings together field-ready charcoal grills, folding fire racks, grates, smoker tubes, pot stands, and tools that help you cook steady meals outdoors. Everything here is built for campsites, tailgates, backyard cooking, and off-grid setups where heat control matters.
What you’ll find in this category:
✅ Portable charcoal grills — small footprints, steady heat, and simple fuel
✅ Cast-iron and ceramic units — long heat retention and even cooking
✅ Folding pot racks and mesh stands — raise cookware above coals or firewood
✅ Grates and grill nets — replace worn parts or build a simple fire-over-grill setup
✅ Smoker tubes — add smoke flavor to any charcoal grill
✅ Essential tools — arc lighters, holders, and simple accessories for handling heat
How to choose the right grill or accessory
• For lightweight car camping: Pick a folding charcoal grill or square carbon-steel grill that cools fast and stores flat.
• For long cooks: Ceramic and multi-layer charcoal grills hold heat for ribs, poultry, and slow-cook recipes.
• For simple fire-over cooking: A stainless steel pot rack or mesh stand works with firewood when you don’t want to bring a full stove.
• For smoke flavor: Use a pellet smoke tube to turn any charcoal grill into a smoker.
• For clean burns and wind: Grates and racks improve airflow and reduce flare-ups.
• For everyday ignition: A rechargeable arc lighter works in wind and removes the need for matches.
Why bring accessories to camp?
The more stable your cooking surface, the easier it is to make food fast. Grates keep pans level. Racks prevent pots from tipping into coals. Smoke tubes add flavor without weight. Cast iron holds heat long enough to cook evenly when the wind shifts. All of this reduces fuss, keeps meals predictable, and helps you pack out clean.
Safety reminders:
Follow Leave No Trace. Pack out microtrash. Use grills in open, well-ventilated areas. Never use any stove or burner inside tents or vehicles. Check BLM/USFS fire rules at your campsite.
