What our reviewers liked and didn't

Pack Grill

  • Folds flat with its own supports

  • Steel weight exceeds several titanium grates

Streamside Voyageurs Grill

  • Larger mesh surface for shared meals
  • Two internal stays support the cooking mesh
  • Large rigid footprint is awkward for small packs
