Stainless steel grilling basket
This stainless steel grilling basket not only helps keep all of your food on the grill, it also allows you to flip all of your food at once for an even grill. You can use this basket to cook on a grill or an open flame. The lightweight stainless steel helps keep the basket rust-free and dishwasher safe.
Over-fire grill
If you’d rather ditch the conventional grill and cook over an open-fire, check out this over-fire grill that allows you to cook dinner right on top of your campfire. The legs fold up for easy storage on the go.

Headlamp
Don’t forget the headlamp for grilling when the sun starts to go down (or for early morning breakfasts before the sun comes up!)
Digital thermometer
A digital thermometer is a key component no matter where you’re grilling, however, if you’re grilling over an open flame, you’re definitely going to want an accurate measurement on the internal temperature, so don’t forget to pack a digital thermometer.
Multi-utensil tool
This metal spork is lightweight and functions as a spork, serrated butter knife, can opener, bottle opener, peeler, fire starter, cord cutter, pry-bar, box cutter and flathead screwdriver (talk about all-in-one).
