The Grill Outdoor is a heavy-duty, cast iron piece of equipment designed to transform how we cook in the backcountry. I spent a weekend testing its heat distribution and versatility to see if this compact charcoal grill lives up to its premium reputation.
Constructed entirely from 100% pre-seasoned cast iron, the build quality is immediately impressive and feels virtually indestructible. The dual height settings provide a clever way to manage heat intensity, which is a rare feature to find in such a portable, small-form factor device.
Setting up the grill is straightforward, though its significant weight means it is better suited for car camping rather than backpacking. Once the coals are hot, the cast iron holds heat beautifully, making it excellent for searing skewers and small vegetable portions with consistent results.
This grill is perfect for the dedicated car camper who values premium materials and authentic high-heat cooking techniques over lightweight gear.
While the $229 price point and the weight of the cast iron might deter some, the cooking performance is undeniable for those who love traditional yakitori. Given the current 0/5 rating, this review reflects an initial assessment that suggests while the hardware is solid, user expectations regarding weight and maintenance should be carefully considered.
