backpacking grill

Postby poisonarrow » 12 14, 2014 •  [Post 1]

In a month I will be ready to sell a small grill for backpacking. It will have a 7"x11" stainless grill. The tripod will be aluminum. The cables that hold the grill will be stainless also. It will be totally adjustable up to about 18" high. It weighs 3.8 oz. for the whole system.

You can also use it without the grill. If your pot has a bail you can hang it over the fire with a center hook. This will also be adjustable. The adjustments are a squeeze to release , slide spring. When you release the spring it grips the rods of the tripod very firmly. Without the grill the tripod and hook weighs 1.2 oz.

I designed this after running out of fuel with my Jetboil last hunting season.

I will post some pictures in a day or two.

I assume you have a patent attorney?

Since I put nothing but water in my Jetboil that would be great for the occasional grouse or celebratory backstraps. I wonder if I could spray that grate down with some non-stick stuff to keep it fairly clean? But it would be easy enough to soak in a nearby stream or lake.

You're a think tank James.

I'm working on that moose photo.

Very cool idea. Love the weight. A little foil a packet of olive oil, a packet of lemon juice, salt, pepper and a brook trout.......
