    I had one of those grills. Was great until you used it and got stuff stick to it Like chicken skin or something. Basically it is a bunch of bike spokes. It can be a real pain to setup if you are in a hurry or your hands are cold. Practice setting it up a few times a day for a week before it makes it in the field.

    I did to. I used it rock climbing. I grilled steak in some very unusual places, but I also had a bad experience with it. I ended up packing an 1/8" thick piece of expanded metal and for cooking. Build fire, stack rocks, throw down the grate and cook. Doesn't get more simple than that.

    When I used to camp a lot, I took the grills from my old propane grill and cut them into 6"x6" squares and used them. Easy to pack and easy to clean (as long as they are taken care of).

    Ya I would prob spray a bunch of cooking spray on it. And if I use it wile truck camping I would use a pan on the back packing stove and use my weber grill to BBQ with.

    Hmm, not that I could find on PB, might have been before digital cameras were in fashion lol. I will say the best home made tortillas I have ever had were cooked on an old piece or roofing tin. Their wavy shape helped with the flavor for some reason.

    Backpacking a few cheeseburgers ago in Germany. There's a little castle and the Rhein river back there. This was a "short" fifty miler.

    My issue with it was this/. being an avid fisherman, as we camped or fished, I would pull it out and cook fish or fowl, whatever we had or hunted. Anything with skin, no matter the oil used, stuck. Just made cleanup a little more time consuming.

    Ultimately, I lost the end cap, then a couple of the grate pegs. Eventually, a standing peg or two dissapeared. Then it fell over when we were cooking and we canabilized it. Used the pegs for shish cabob and left it there. Worked fine while i had it and was able to keep up with the pieces.
