You mean the one tard that put a heavy pot on it and one bar bent? The idea was a portable, lightweight grill. If you got room for a heavy pot in your backpack, you certainly can fit a hibachi. ;/

I think all of them are going to have one drawback or another. I like the portability, but not sure on assembly/disassembly after it's been used several times. The metal tines are going to turn black & have crusty crap on them from grilling food. There's no way it's just "✔ Easy to Clean - Just wipe the rods with a towel and slide back into the convenient carry tube. " I would 'try' it for the $20 (amazon price) though.

Oh you're gonna need some $100 stainless skewers in a fashionable carrying pouch with a slick Instagram marketing campaign or that'll never work.

Nothing that's advertised as easy to clean is ever easy to clean.

You had the right idea earlier. Something with the legs/frame built in that folds up to a sort of thin book size object.

I watched a video review of it. Wonky to assemble(for starters you need a tool), could get worse as it gets dirty. Lady gave it a push, looked really flexible. Some might call that flimsy. I appreciate fly might be selling this on Amazon but for myself I'm saying nah to a $100 porta-grill of that type of relative construction. IF a decent Coleman propane porta grill is $99, I'm thinking $15 tops for a chicken screen of stainless or chrome plated wire.

The thing I like the most about that one is it's stupid easy to set up, and, at least for me, at only $7, I can get a new one under the Christmas tree each year & toss the old one (if it's wearing down quickly).

99% of my camping is next to my SUV with a horse trailer behind me. The trailer has a large "dressing room" that ends up being a storage locker for everything you could possibly need at horse shows and/or for camping. There are guys that get this Charbroil 'portable' propane grill for $29 each year. & At the end of the season it's just trashed so they just toss it & get a new one.

I wonder what we could come up with at home depot or lowes for $15 & portable. . .

hmmm.

$15 would be easy to spend annually if it went together pretty easily.

I didn't want to mention this, but I buy probably 10-15 of the cheap Chinese made ones made of stainless for my glass hobby each year. Basically you put glass of different colors on top and let it melt through to make free-form material for cutting up later. I have a strong strong opinion on what these things are worth. And don't get me started on pizza stones damnit!

aint none of their metals suitable for being heated and food put over them. You need stainless.

and make sure its not the high chromium stuff.

The chromium on those is metallic chrome, it's not in a hexavalent state . It's isn't coming off at anywhere near those temps. That said, many of your cheaper steel grill like on a propane bbq will be nickle plated. Nickel is very inert and acid resistant. A small amount of the chromium in the exterior of cheaper ss pulls out at 1500f+ but most is immediatly bound to oxygen. Grey-black dust, rises off with water, almost no more after first time at those temps.
 
It’s a goddamn grill for use at a wait for it

Horse Show and to be used next to a horse trailer that has its own dressing room and bidet.

I think you can spend more than $15 pal. Splurge on something nice for $fiddy. It isn't like you’re close to eating the horse.

bidet! :lol:

Dude, make no mistake, I've got this and this in the trailer for food.

But if we're doing 'minimalist' gear that's meant to go backpacking, I think something usable and replaceable at the end of the season is good.
