FOLD-UP BARBECUE
One of the simplest ways to cook over a fire is to use a humble barbecue . All you need is to place a hot plate of sorts over some nice coals , add a few snags or something along those lines , and you ’ re well on your way to some delicious fare .
While there are different styles of barbecues to choose from , a compact fold-up style that ’ s half hot plate and half a grill is our pick . It ’ s just the perfect bit of gear when there ’ s only two of us .
Our barbecue ’ s folding design incorporates a plate and grill that fold together ( along with the legs ), so it ’ s far from bulky . The barbecue also comes with a small carry handle . We also like that it has a small lip , which makes the plate and grill slightly recessed . The last thing you want is to lose what you ’ re cooking over the side where it could end up in the mouths of ants !
Damper made in the camp oven – delicious !
Folding barbecues are compact and ideal for camping .
The beauty of this style of barbecue is you don ’ t need a roaring fire . You only need to dig a small fire pit and straddle the barbecue over the fire at one end . Should you need the plate or grill to be positioned closer to the fire source , simply dig a small trench either side of the fire and place the barbecue legs into the trenches .
Whether you ’ re cooking a big breakfast , flipping pancakes , or making a meal with your favourite meat or veggies , these barbecues work well . Their height and size are spot-on for plonking yourself on a small stool while cooking up a storm to save yourself from any bending . So no complaints from us . After a quick wipe with some paper towel once you ’ ve finished cooking , the barbecue will be all ready to go for your next cook-up .
