Burnie Grill Reviews
The design of the Burnie Grill is simple: a wood body with integrated charcoal. This allows easy lighting, portability, and no cleanup – as the unit burns itself out in a couple of hours.
While some camping purists may scoff at such an idea, there are certainly those who believe Burnie Grill has a place among their camping supplies, and consumer input is overwhelmingly positive.
Although CNET cheekily refers to Burnie Grill as “a hunk of wood that you take outside and burn,” it also concedes that the product is rather convenient and easy to use.
You’ll still need to bring cooking utensils and a grill of some sort to place over the fire.
We found Burnie Grill to work as advertised, and provided a portable and convenient alternative to bags of charcoal and other portable grills.
