Upgrade Your Camping Cooking Experience With The New Campfire Griller!

5 hot dogs cooked over a campfire using the Campfire Griller. The Griller is open to reveal the grill marks on the hot dogs.

While camping is cool all year, there is something special about summertime on the campground. Whether choosing a mountain location or one on the beach, camping is the perfect excuse to turn off the phone and connect with nature and the family. But, let’s be real about one thing–dinner. At home, dinner is the time where everyone connects over a delicious meal. The same may not be true for the campground–until now that is!

Meet the Campfire Griller, the Ultimate Camping Tool

Now, you can upgrade anything you cook around the campfire using our new Campfire Griller. Crafted with durable, rust-free campfire cast aluminum, this portable cooking tool is designed to withstand the heat and intensity of an open fire while providing exceptional grilling performance. Equipped with sturdy steel handles that keep hands away from the heat, this griller allows you to turn foods with a simple flip of the wrist. It provides a secure grip and great maneuverability.

Two images. The image on the left is a behind the scenes photo of the machine that bends the handle of the Campfire Griller before it is inserted into the base. The image on the right is a behind the scenes photo of the machine that injects the handles of the Campfire Griller into both sides of the cast aluminum grill base simultaneously.

Made in America!

We proudly make this campfire griller at our Minneapolis Factory, from the two-piece grilling base to the handles. The steel handles are bent into a loop for easy gripping and storage, with the other end inserted into the cast aluminum Griller base. Both handles are attached to the Griller’s base using the machine shown above, then interlocked before packaging for a stylish new look!

How to use Campfire Griller

  1. Before using the Campfire Griller, it is important to heat up both sides over a grill or campfire for about 1-2 minutes. Separate the two interlocking sides and hover them over the heat source to preheat at the same time or interlock together and heat each side by flipping over the heat source. We strongly recommend wearing an oven mitt or protective glove when cooking over an open flame to avoid burns.
  2. Once both sides are preheated, place one of the halves on a heat-resistant surface and quickly add your food of choice while the griller is still hot. If you are cooking vegetables, sandwiches, or other foods that traditionally stick to a pan, it is best to brush the inside of the Griller with cooking oil before adding the food to improve browning and food release.
  3. After your food is added, interlock the top half to the bottom half, squeeze together, and return to the heat source until fully cooked.
  4. When you are done using the Campfire Griller for a delicious flame cooked meal, allow both sides to cool completely for 15-20 minutes away from the heat source. After it is fully cooled, use a paper towel to remove excess food from the griller then wash with warm soapy water. For hard to remove spots, abrasive cleaning products can be used without harming the cooking properties of the Griller.

What to Cook with Campfire Griller

The spacious surface is designed with grill-like holes to infuse foods with smokey campfire flavor and create a beautiful grill mark on meats, veggies, burgers, fish and our personal favorite, smores sandwiches! This Grilled Peanut Butter S’more’s Sandwich is our take on a classic smore’s pudgy pie, traditionally made in a pie iron. Check out the recipe below and watch our quick recipe video to see the Campfire Griller in action!

Peanut Butter Smores Sandwich cut in a diagonal on a gray plate. The sandwich is slightly pulled apart to reveal a melted marshmallow center. Next to the plate, there is two slices of bread, a bowl of peanut butter, two marshmellows, two pieces of dark chocolate, a grey towel, and the Campfire Griller.

Grilled Peanut Butter S’more’s Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices white sandwich bread  (or bread of choice)
  • Peanut butter
  • 2 large marshmallows, cut in half
  • Chocolate bar of choice (We used Scharffen Berger 70% Dark Chocolate)
  • Butter

Directions

Preheat both halves of Campfire Griller over a campfire or grill for 1-2 minutes until hot. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over two slices of bread.  Arrange the large marshmallow halves on one slice of the peanut butter bread leaving a half an inch of space between the marshmallows and the crust of the bread to avoid marshmallows from spilling out. Place the chocolate bar of your choice over the top of the marshmallows ensuring that it fits inside the edges of the bread. Place the other piece of bread peanut butter side down on top of the chocolate bar and marshmallows. Spread a thin layer of butter over the outside of sandwich on both sides.

Place the entire sandwich inside the preheated Campfire Griller and place over the flames of the fire or grill flipping halfway through until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the marshmallows are melty (about 3 minutes).  Carefully remove the sandwich from the griller. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Easy Clean-Up

But that’s not all! We all know that campfire cooking notoriously involves some blackened utensils, but clean-up is simplified in this case by a cleverly designed hinge that allows the griller to separate into two pieces. Just wipe the inside cooking surfaces and it’s ready for next time. The Campfire Griller’s easy-clean design means less time scrubbing and more time enjoying fun-filled moments around the campfire.

Now, it’s time to hit the trail, set up camp, gather ‘round the campfire, and create lasting memories with a delicious meal. Let the Campfire Griller ignite your culinary creativity in the great outdoors!
