Best campfire swivel grill | Updated List 2023

Last Updated on May 13, 2023 by Jack Ryan

The campfire grill is an excellent piece of equipment for cooking food when camping. It is also great for spending time with friends and family in the backyard. Even though there are many options for camping barbecues, this article will focus on swivel grills specifically.

The Swivel Grill allows you to cook food on your outdoor grill without having to worry about keeping it on fire or keeping it too hot. This saves you time and energy, which means you can spend more time enjoying the outdoors with your friends and family or spending time with them while they are cooking or grilling. You can also set up a campfire swivel grill in no time once you get the hang of it. Another perk of a swivel camping grill is that it provides a more spacious cooking surface.

How to Set up the campfire swivel grill

In contrast to standard camping grills, which include folding legs, swivel grills only have one central spike at the bottom end that must be inserted into the ground by hammering from the top. But occasionally, there is a triangular metal part which you can push to the ground by stepping on that. If you’re using something brand new for cooking, you should let it sit over an open fire for a while to get rid of any harmful chemicals or paint.

campfire swivel grills – Top 4

1. Titan Swivel Grill

The heaviest and most costly item here is the titan campfire swivel grill. Neither a backpacker nor a lightweight camper should rely on this. But I must say, this is the best swivel grill I have ever used. Both a grill grate and a griddle are included with the titan campfire swivel grill. The only drawback is that it is somewhat heavy.

As for the design and structure, it is highly durable due to its heavy-duty construction. Leaving this outside for an extended period of time will cause it to rust because it is constructed of alloy steel. Each grill plate has a handle that is formed in a unique spiral pattern; this ensures that the handles will remain comfortable to hold even when the grill plates are placed directly into a fire. The rod’s robust and cold-rolled steel construction helps it maintain its shape in the face of high temperatures. After you’re done cooking, you can pull the griddle away from the open fire, and it will still maintain its heat, keeping your food nice and toasty.

Titan Swivel Grill weighs around 50-55 pounds(20-25Kg) and received more than 300 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.

2. Game Maker Swivel grill grate combo

The Game Maker swivel campfire grill is another excellent choice. The design of this swivel cooking grate is almost the same as the Titan grill, but you have the option to buy either the grill grate, griddle, or both. For testing purposes, I bought both.

It’s much lighter than the Titan swivel grill at about 25 pounds (10-12 kilograms). Buying a Game Maker swivel grill is a good idea if you frequently go camping due to its portability and durability. Still, this is not a good option for a backpacker. As for the cooking space, this provides you with decent cooking space and is more than enough for a group of 3-4 people. I wouldn’t put more than 10 to 15 pounds of food on it at once because it isn’t as strong as the Titan grill. But even so, it offers an excellent value for the price.

3. HZGAMER Adjustable Swivel Campfire Grill

For swiveling about the campfire, HZ Gamer is among my top picks. This swivel grill has the advantages of being lightweight, sturdy, and portable, heavy-duty, and it outperforms the other two options in terms of portability and weight.

This alloy steel grill comes with a U-shaped bracket and a grill grate with a handle, so you can hang a kettle or a pot from it and cook meals or boil water. The wooden handles are a nice touch, making the swivel grill a pleasant and practical tool for any kitchen. This rotatable campfire grilling grate weighs around 8-10 pounds (3.5-5 kilograms) and may support as much as 15-20 pounds when set up correctly. You can manage a full pot or pan of food as long as you have a good, deep bite into the soil to drive the stake in. It will be weak and unsteady if you are unable to secure a solid foothold. It’s important to double-check your setup to avoid spilling your morning brew or lunch.

More than 150 customers rated the HZ Gamer campfire swivel grill, giving it an average rating of 4.3 out of 5.

4. REDCAMP Swivel Campfire Grill

At only 5 pounds, the Redcamp swivel grill grate is a great lightweight option for campers. I haven’t had a chance to give it a try just yet, but after reading through some customer reviews, this one stands out as the only viable lightweight alternative.

The Red Camp swivel barbecue includes the pole, extension rod, and cooking grate. It weighs only about 5.1 pounds, according to their official product page (If they are telling the truth). However, it is effortless to set up compared to any of the swivel grill grates on this list, as there are only two parts. From a user review, I found that this grill can hold around 10 – 12 pounds and measures a total of 28 inches in height. There are 2 variants for you to choose from, alloy steel and stainless steel. Since some customers have reported problems with rusting while using the alloy steel Red camp swivel grill, I recommend opting for the stainless steel model instead.


Conclusion – Best campfire swivel grill Grate

I have tried several alternatives to these four swivel campfire grills. While I had no issues with these, other customers complained about the quality of the grills. As a result, I skipped including them. But from the above four camping grills, I personally like to bring the Game Maker swivel campfire grill when camping as I find it the most convenient.
