Amazon BasicsHeavy-Duty Portable Camping Grill Grate for Campfire Cooking, Black

Bought this to add an extra shelf in my smoker. The top shelf in my smoker it basically useless other than to smoke buns or small items. I am able to smoke more meat with this extra shelf when needed. This grill grate is sturdy, and well-made. Folds flat for easy packing

Well thought out

It’s sturdy and compact/foldable. We haven’t used it yet but hope it works, we just got the smaller one, it’s heavy and sturdy, should work over a fire!

Excellent value

The media could not be loaded. Perfect

Use it to cook food on lake/river banks while out on the water. Carry small amount of charcoal in trash bag. Like it better than having to carry a small propane cooker with bottles. Attached picture of a king salmon filet on foil with fresh squeezed lemon and seasonings.

The grill itself is fine, but there are better gills in this price range that include a storage bag, and that are made of a material that you can safely cook directly on. This grate has a disclaimer that says not for direct food contact. So if you want to grill a steak, burger, hot dogs, whatever, you need to line it with foil or cook those items in a pan. I also find that the legs are a bit to short. This puts the grate very close to the fire, which makes it easy to get your surface to hot, and also makes it hard to feed the fire when needed. I find myself finding ways to prop up the legs to make it taller.

I'd never before cooked over a campfire, and wasn't sure what to buy, when I saw this, I figured I'd give it a chance. I cooked on it for 4 nights in a row on a camping trip. The first night I heated up my cast iron pan on it over the fire and cooked salmon, the results were OK, but not spectacular. The salmon tasted as if I cooked it on my stove at home. The next night, I put chicken breasts directly on the grill and they turned out great, the night after that, we made steaks, put them directly on the grill and cooked them over a wood fire and it was the best steak I ever ate. The last night camping we put burgers and hot dogs directly on grill and they turned out very nice. Depending on what you're cooking, I prefer to cook directly on this grill over a wood fire. Obviously, some things can't be put directly on it, and then the cast iron pan comes in handy. Overall, this was a great purchase, it's very sturdy and well made. If you like to cook outdoors or go camping, this is essential.
