Lighter BBQ setup for camping

[Seik]

So...

I've got one of the Spika-Q fold up BBQ's that I take camping, but it's basically a pain in the ass to carry around.

It's about 1 1/2 x 2 foot long, so not exactly small...

What do you guys take out for cooking on that's a bit easier on weight load and space?

[oohsam]

I havnt felt how heavy the spika is, butI I remember them being quite small.
Are you hiking with it or just loading it in the car?

We take a coal bbq with us and some heat beads. Its medium sized and disassembles quite small.

Something like this may be good for you though? You will need to take coal however.
otherwise for something to chuck over the fire, the spika is the only way to go.




or this

Just a plate of metal? Proper it up on stones or stumps or whatever over your fire.

Take a roll of foil and bake it near the fire.

Skip the BBQ thing together.

It's not the size, it's just one more thing to lug around, you know?

Typically loading it in the car + a small hike to the camp ground.

Baking in foil sounds worth a try though...

It is a bit "horses for course" if I have the ability to carry it I carry a spigot that goes into the ground. I then have a hotplate, a grill, a wok and some rods to hang a billy off that swivel around the spigot and can be adjusted for height as well. So you can easily very heat and have the hot plate off the fire when you want to. Last time I was camping some other campers even came and took pictures they were impressed.

If I am walking with a pack and need to grill some meat I carry the Grilliput which as they say fits into your pocket. Here is a pic of the Grilliput.

Keen to see some pics of your setup. I think I know what you're talking about but a pic would help!

That grillput looks the goods I reckon.

Mate

The cookstand is made by Hillbilly the basic spigot is $55 then you can get heaps of different plates, pans, woks to hang off it. This is their site http://www.campingwithhillbilly.com/cookstand.php I like the fact that you can move it up and down and swing it off the fire easily without burning your hands.

The Grilliput is quite a good item if you are living out of a pack

I have no association with either product or manufacturer just a happy camper

Well it is good stuff spun steel as opposed to cast iron makes it lighter and easier to clean.
