    I tested this out this past weekend,
    some positives I have with this:
    Very compact and lightweight for the size of the fire it allows.
    Large surface area to cook on, I used a 12" skillet with no rack and had no problems resting it on the grill.
    Easy to move slowly to adjust for wind capture, but I did accidentally dump my coals when I lifted one leg too high.
    Very stable when legs are opened fully.
    Convenient rack hook tool, but I used tongs instead.
    some negatives I have with this:
    I feel there should be some ventilation on the sides other than the 8 holes. In some wind, the flames shoot out the holes.
    It bent "overloading" this above the arches for high flames. As expected, easily bent back flat when cooled.
    The case is very snug, almost ripping the seams.
    It would be nice to lock legs during use.

    Thats a hell of a match...gonna buy one and probably replicate where the weak points are (leg seams/swivel) and add a low profile cookie baking sheet for eggs and cutting board.

      How did you like it? I use mine exclusively as a fire pit and love it, I’ve had it for over a year, keeps you very warm and uses less wood than regular fire pits.

    Thanks for the review. fyi, the 3rd piece is to lift the top grill, not to move it around (it acts as a stable handle) :)

    • @HappilyEverOutdoors

      Haha, yeah I kinda figured that out somewhere along the way after the video, although it does work well for both 😁 thanks for watching!

    Hi! Just saw this and was wondering - six months after your review - if the warping in the grill developed into your having to replace it, or if it's still rendering you pretty good service. We just retired and are getting ready to hit the road full-time in a Class B. So we like the not-much-space taken up aspect.

    • @laurataffinder4584
      @laurataffinder4584 2 роки тому

      Have three stoves and 4 grills, all made out of SS and after use they have all warped to some extent. To be fair I use my stuff hard but as an aside, not a huge fan of
      UCO gear.

  • @HDvroom10

    Put the grill sideways so you can feed more wood/fuel easily👍

    I have the UCO flat pack mini amd the flat pack grill. Def suggest the grill and not the mini. Its too small. Sold the mini. Kept the larger. Its just 2.5lbs. Fits in the sleeve of my small backpack. Cools down really fast.
    All the coals rest at the bottom with the V shape so the heat always stays consistent. Have had mine for years. Burgers, a small fire....fish, warming cast iron for frying, boiling water its a basass gamechanger.

    With that v shape in the sides, you could totally put a spit roast on it

  • @classicalfredo3629
    @classicalfredo3629 5 років тому +1

    Great review! I have one main concern with grills like this. How long does it take for the body of the grill to cool down? How long do you have to wait to pack it up after use?

  • @laurataffinder4584
    @laurataffinder4584 2 роки тому +1

    After some fairly heavy use the hinges for the end caps failed. They got stiffer and stiffer until the hinges bent. This can be averted if you keep the charcoal away from the ends.

      There is a Regular with a 13" x 10" cooking area, and a small or Mini that is 9" x 6.75".

  • @parthmistry1076
    @parthmistry1076 2 роки тому

    One concern with the V shape is that all the fuel tends to roll towards the centre. Leaving you with a thin hot zone, while the edges aren't hot enough to do the cooking properly. Maybe not so much of a concern in the bigger model cause there's still enough width to have a decent-sized cooking area but the smaller one would face this issue.

    So...do I need to chop off a firewood to fit it in this thing?

    • @marcrtaylor
      @marcrtaylor 4 роки тому +1

      That depends on how big the piece of wood is to start with.

    • @ggsmith48906
      @ggsmith48906 2 роки тому

      This grill size is 13" x 10". "Standard" firewood is cut to 16" in length. So...yes. You'd probably need to saw a piece of firewood in half AND split each half into several smaller pieces.

    hello there tourist city boy, never put the grill on the fire while the flame are so high. this BEND and DISTORT your grill and WILL ruin it.
