Coghlan'sPack Grill, Silver, 12 1/2" x 6 1/2"

I bought this to put over the campfire for foil pouch meals. worked perfectly. lightweight and it folds thin to pack away nicely. will be testing a cast iron pan on it next and I'll update after that.

Simple, light, packs down small. Used it to cook fish on a recent backpacking trip.

I did end up returning this item as i was looking for a bigger grill, so do check the size before purchasing. If you are going backpacking this would actually work very well to travel with; I myself will continue to use a small propane when backpacking as the food i cook is not that big and we rarely start fires when ultralight backpacking. Good item and sturdy but i dont think it would hold a heavy castIron pan.

Handy to have on camping trips

I really had high expectations that this grill would be wonderful for backpacking and bushcrafting but the sturdiness let me down a bit. The grill will do in a pinch over an open fire, but the steel could be thicker gauge for more rigidity, but the price was right. That being said the quality is commensurate with the price but if you want durability that will last for years of use this grill is probably not for you. The fold out legs are a great addition though, as you won't have to use logs or rocks to elevate this grill over the fire. Also, the ends of the grill could have been refined a bit more as they are a bit sharp, so be careful placing it in and removing it from your pack.

UPDATE: After a couple years of using this, I have to say I have yet to find a better grill for backpacking. For the price and the weight, it just beats everything else. I did replace mine with the same one because after continous use, it started to warp pretty badly. But for the price, it's worth it. I've used this on so many backpacking trips to cook steaks and brats with the squad. I've looked at other grills, even got one of those ones that collapses and packs down into a tube, and this is the one that wins every time because it is the lightest and simplest to use design. I was worried when I first bought it that the sharp edges would be a problem tearing up my pack, but it hasn't been an issue. All in all, this is my go-to grill for hiking!ORIGINAL REVIEW: Couldn't be happier. I used this while backpacking and cooked two steaks on it. It worked perfectly. It also fits perfectly inside my pack. I keep it in a trash bag to keep my bag clean and protected from the sharp edges, and it fits perfectly inside the water bladder sleeve in my backpack.

I've used these a ton with my camping stoves and over open fires. They have bent and warped a bit with heat but are still sturdy. They are very light and fold down very flat in my hiking bag. I bought one then months later bought a second so I could lay a larger folding grate down on top of them to make a very large cooking area, see the photos. 5/5 stars

I can't give this 5 stars, even though I love it. The burrs and sharp edges on all the ends of the bars are a hazard to my gear, and myself. However, that's nothing a few minutes with a file couldn't fix. Do I fault coghlans? Not really. What kind of quality control can one really expect when paying less than $5? But it needs refinement out of the package before you can really use it, so it is what it is.Now for the positives. The size is perfect, for backpacking pots and pans, burgers, steaks, whatever. It holds just what it needs to, it's sturdy, and perfectly stable if you set the legs on something stable. It weighs practically nothing, and takes minimal space. I also found the height to be spot on for proper cooking.The only other thing I would suggest for this, is some sort of pouch or sack. Not only to guard from the corners, but soot and spills.Honestly, if they refined the edges a tad, and provided a pouch, I'd gladly pay $10 instead of $5
