Planning ahead to an upcoming camping trip and wondering what you’ll eat? If you invest a bit of money in a portable gas grill, it’s almost a guarantee that you’ll eat better on your trip than you would imagine possible for camping.
When people think of camping food, they think of granola for snacks and beans for meals. Certainly, these are great forms of fiber and protein, respectively, but they’re not the most fun or tasty things to eat, especially after one or two meals.
Buying a portable gas grill really opens up the possibilities you have for eating while you camp. Whether just cooking for yourself, or for the whole family, these small grills can accommodate a lot more than you would expect.
There are several factors that make these ideal camping grills:
- Portability. Obviously, portable grills are portable. But it’s not just that they’re small that makes them so. Most good portable gas grills will also be made very easy to carry. They will fold up, collapse, or detach form their legs or stand (if they have legs or a stand – some are table-top and great for picnic tables). What’s more, many come with carrying cases that have sturdy handles, so it’s not hard to get the grill to your campsite, no matter how far from your car.
- Easy on fuel. Gas grills don’t use too much fuel, and portable grills aren’t powered by those big tanks that large grills are. Small, disposable (though don’t dispose of them in the woods) propane tanks are much lighter and easier to bring with you. And of course, a portable gas grill is conveniently fueled as well: no need to gather firewood and keep flames at the right temperature for your meal. Just turn it on, and adjust the heat accordingly. It’s so much easier than cooking over a fire.
- Easy to clean up. Sure, you could try to take a charcoal grill camping with you. But what do you do with the spent coals? You can’t leave them there in the forest. You could haul them to a garbage can, but you have to wait until they cool all the way down. And they’re obviously a pain to bring home. With a portable gas grill, simply switch the grill off, let it cool a few minutes, and you’re ready to go.
