A significant concern for many of our readers is portability. They want a grate they can take to and from their next camping trip. Gets Hot: All grills get hot (obviously), but you’re often tempted with height-adjustable stake grills like this one to adjust the height mid-fire. Unfortunately, this can burn your fingers! That includes using stainless steel rather than iron, making it significantly lighter than competitors. We particularly like that this one has stabilizing fins at the base of the stake. The fins add to the overall feel that it’s a sturdy stake campfire grill. If you manage to hammer it in the entire length of the underground section into firm soil, the stake isn’t going to fall. There’s no way your food will fall off mid-fire!

A Lot of Height Options: We like stake-swivel grills like this because you have a lot of room to adjust the height. Choose your Size: You can choose between medium and large sizes for this one – although both sizes are pretty small relative to other outdoor campfire grills. RedSwing Folding Campfire Grill, Heavy Duty 304 Stainless Steel Grate, Portable Camping Grill with Legs and Carrying Bag, Large We like that swivel stake grills tend to have the most range for adjusting the height of the grate. They can usually move up and down the 20 inches or so of stake above ground.The Campfire Grill company has included a carry bag, hot pad, glove in this kit, and wrenches for constructing and deconstructing the grill.

Campfire Grill Heavy Duty Steel Grate, Over Fire Camp REDCAMP Swivel Campfire Grill Heavy Duty Steel Grate, Over Fire

This model is a very nicely made stake and swivel-style campfire grill. This feature is our favorite type due to the better control over height and position than most other styles. The grate connects to the stake with a simple clasp mechanism, which is nice but not as good as others we’ve seen. We recommend swivel-stake grills or flatbed grills when looking for a campfire grill. We suggest testing it out by placing it over the fire once and burning off any excess paints or chemicals before cooking. The stake has a 360-degree swivel. Therefore, once your food cooks, you can swivel it away from the fire to allow time for the food to cool. You’ll have about 17 inches of height to play with, and you can screw the grate at any size. Both mean you can get it to the perfect height for whatever you’re cooking.Its defining feature is its patented raised edge that loops around the rim. It essentially acts as a wall so that this grill prevents food from falling off the grill. You get a choice of two sizes – medium (13.6″ x 9″ x 6.5″) and large (17″ x 12.6″ x 5.7″). Those heights drop to 1″ when folded. Unfortunately, both sizes are small compared to some larger competitors – but again, it’s designed this way for portability. The thing we like about this grill is its simplicity and elegance. It doesn’t have any additional ‘bells and whistles. All you have is the 28″ stake and the grilling plate, which you attach to the stake.
