Grills & Outdoor Cooking

How the outdoor cooking categories fit together

An outdoor kitchen on wheels is really three decisions working together: the cooking surface, the LP gas that runs it, and a way to mount or stow the whole rig so it survives a travel day. Start with how you cook and how much space you have, then match the fuel and the mount to that. The four categories below break down this way:

• Camp Stoves — the cast iron and campfire cook gear that rides along, from Dutch ovens and campfire cook tops to the silicone handle holders, covers, and aprons that make them usable at a hot fire.
• Propane & LP Gas — the fuel side: LP regulators, POL fittings and O-rings, quick-disconnect ends, snap-on regulator covers, and tank scales that report how much gas is left.
• Griddles — flat-top cooking, from the Blackstone Omnivore tabletop to Greystone's cast iron plates and pizza-oven attachment, plus the scrapers that keep the surface clean.
• Portable Grills — the Kuuma pedestal and rod-holder mounts that hold a grill steady off the ground, plus roasting forks and coolers for the rest of the cook site.

Most rigs end up running two of these together, a grill or griddle plus the propane to feed it. Sort out the fuel connection first, since a mismatched regulator or fitting is the thing most likely to end a cook before it starts.
