Where to buy the Streamside Travelers Grill

The Streamside Travelers replaces the standard Travelers’ longitudinal stays with an expanded-metal surface. The manufacturer lists approximately 5 oz or 142 g and a tapered frame about 17 inches long. This creates a different use case from the open-tube Packer: more continuous support for fish, burgers or vegetables without moving to a full camp barbecue. Its long rigid form may be awkward in a small backpack even though the listed weight is modest. Purcell Trench warns that the expanded surface can warp over a hot fire and largely return toward shape as it cools. Controlled coals and conservative cookware loading are more appropriate than large flames. Carry-bag options vary, so verify the ordered configuration rather than assuming the grill weight is a full-kit weight.

How we picked
We started with a long list of backpacking campfire grills that people actually buy, cut anything that could not clear our baseline for durability and field performance, then ranked the 10 that were left against the same criteria. Rankings are editorial. No brand pays for placement, and affiliate links never move a pick up or down.
- Heat control and cooking area
- Even heat, flare-up control and enough grate space for the group.
- Portability and cleanup
- Weight, folding legs and how easily it cleans at camp.
- Real-world durability
- How the material, stitching, or steel holds up after a season of hard use — not how it looks new.
- Performance in bad conditions
- Wind, rain, cold, and grit are the test. Anything that only works on a nice day gets marked down.
- Weight and packability
- Every ounce has to earn its place in the pack, but not at the cost of something that fails in the field.
- Ease of use
- Setup, adjustment, and maintenance with cold hands, in the dark, without the manual.
