A Good RV Cooking Grill

Early on in my camping career (1998) I use to lug around a small gas grill for cooking. I started out with those cheapo portable units you can get at Walmart and they would maybe last a season, but the latch or

Coleman Roadtrip

handle would break. And since they where so cheap the paint would burn off and you could not clean it very well and mold would begin to grow inside as the humidity and heat hit in the summer. So then I thought I would get smart and I purchased one of those Coleman Roadtrip grills probably around 2001.  That sucker was not cheap, but it had that non stick cooking surface and was easy to clean since everything was captured in the front part of the grill. (sorta like a George Foreman Grill) One morning I got ambitious and decided to put the griddle plates on and cook some bacon and eggs on the grill.  Now they warn you to make sure the grill is tilted slightly forward before beginning to cook which I thought it was.  Well, it wasn't long before some bacon grease leaked into the bottom portion of the grill from the back.  Next thing I know I have a little fire going in the back which proceeded to catch the rubber hinges on fire and then the whole thing ended up on fire.  Luckily it was not close to the RV and not to many campers where awake to see me running around like a lunatic trying to put it out.   I quickly cleaned up the mess and with head held low rolled my new $100+ burned rubber smelling grill to the dumpster.  It was my fault and so I decided I was done with portable RV grills for good. (Well not for good, I actually carry a Cadac Safari Chef Portable Grilling System now which is easy to clean and use.  Hey alot has changed in 12 years since I burned that grill to the ground) 

So I started looking for an easier way to cook while camping and decided to start cooking over a campfire.   Why not, we usually started one in the evening anyway and food cooked over a wood fire always taste awesome.  One of the very first companies we took on here at RVupgrades was Tring who actually came our way by another company I own which sells automation products to the industrial and robotics industries.  Tring is a metal fab shop and it's owner is an avid RV'er like myself.  He also felt there had to be a better way to cook over a fire and developed the Deluxe Cooking Grill Kit. He sent us one to do a review on  and after just one use I

Deluxe Cooking Grill Kit

was sold!  This has got to be the easiest, most flexible and rugged over the fire cooker on the market today.  I still have that original grill kit 11 years later and it's as good as it was when new.  We use it just about every other weekend from spring till fall and it does the same great job every time.  The genius behind this grill is it's ability to be adjusted up or down simply by pushing down on the back of the handle. Now don't do that without holding on to the handle, but this simple design works every time and has never slipped.   No locking bolt or other device to break, just leverage that works perfectly.  The kit includes a heavy duty pointed driving stake, which is driven directly into the ground, I usually use a split piece of wood that will go in the fire, but if you carry a hammer that will work as well. This setup can be used around any type of fire ring or fire pit. Not only do you have fast and easy height adjustments of the grill, but you can quickly swing the grill off the fire for safe attention to food being prepared.

Check out the Deluxe Cooking Grill Kit for your next camping trip, you wont be disappointed.
