I took the Grill Outdoor cast iron yakitori grill out for a weekend in the woods to see if its heavy-duty design holds up under campsite conditions. This pint-sized cooker promises a premium grilling experience, but I wanted to see if the weight of the cast iron was worth the pack space.
The 100% pre-seasoned cast iron construction is undeniably robust, offering the kind of heat retention you simply cannot get from cheaper aluminum alternatives. The two adjustable height settings are a clever inclusion, providing actual control over the cooking temperature when working with glowing charcoal embers.
Setup is straightforward, though the density of the cast iron means you will want to let it cool completely before attempting to pack it up. Once you get the charcoal going, the heat distribution is excellent, making it a joy to sear skewers or vegetables over a steady, controlled flame.
This grill is perfect for car campers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize high-quality, authentic grilling results over ultralight equipment.
While the Grill Outdoor offers impressive performance, the $229.00 price tag and heavy design will deter some hikers. Given the current 0/5 rating, I suggest weighing the benefits of its durability against your specific travel needs.
