Grills & Fire Pits

Whether at the campsite, by the lake, or after a strenuous hike: preparing culinary delights on a grill on a balmy summer evening and sitting by the fire with friends is the epitome of a successful end to the day for many outdoor adventurers. Since traditional grills are simply too large and bulky, a portable fire pit or camping grill is more suitable for trips into nature.

At Meister Messer you will find grills and fire bowls in various designs. Our compact grills are primarily designed for outdoor use, but can also be used at home. The fire bowls offered in the Meister Messer online shop are also excellent for enhancing your garden or terrace. The following guide explains what to look out for when buying grills and fire bowls.

Outdoor Grilling: Possible Anywhere with the Right Equipment

Grills come in a wide variety of designs. At home, steaks and more are usually sizzled on a regular stand, kettle, or tripod grill. In the trunk of your car or in your caravan, you might still be able to fit a suitable grill. But as soon as you are on foot in nature – for example, in the forest or in the mountains – most of these grills prove to be impractical due to their construction.

Instead, it is recommended to take a portable grill or fire pit on outdoor trips. These have relatively compact dimensions and can also be used as an oven or stove. Many models can also be folded or collapsed with one or a few handles and transported in a particularly space-saving manner.

Purchase criteria: These are the variables you should pay attention to

If you want to buy a grill, the first question is about the operating mode. Because basically, you can not only grill with charcoal, but also with gas or electricity. A charcoal grill gives the grilled food its typical smoky flavor and can also be operated with collected wood if necessary. However, a portable gas grill is ideal for trekking and hiking tours, while an electric grill is at most suitable for the next vacation at a campsite.

When using the grill or fire pit on the go, the size and weight are of crucial importance. Especially collapsible models often fit even in your outdoor backpack. Sometimes, there are also special bags available for certain designs in stores. The weight can vary greatly. While fire pits usually weigh only 0,5 to two kilograms, grills generally weigh a bit more.

If you are planning a multi-day hike or trekking tour, the handling of the grill is also important. Ideally, it should be possible to set up and dismantle the grill as easily and quickly as possible. Also, make sure that the grill is easy to transport.

Fire bowls: Suitable for both making fire and grilling

With a fire bowl, you can create a real campfire romance in your garden or on your terrace, but also use it as a grill bowl with the right accessories. More specifically, you even have various options available. You can either get a fire bowl with a grill ring or purchase one equipped with a tripod stand. Additionally, there is also the option to position the fire bowl over an open fire to prepare food.

For grilling with charcoal, however, you should only use a fire bowl made of stainless steel, regular steel, or cast iron. Other materials do not handle the heat development as well, which is why they may deform – especially with frequent use.

Since their legs can usually be unscrewed, you can easily take a fire bowl - whether with a grill plate or without - with a carrying bag on an outdoor excursion. For many of the models sold in our online shop, suitable bags are also available at Meister Messer.
