Whether camping in the bush for you means quiet time by yourself, or being part of a big crew with family and friends, the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate should be an item you never leave home without.

Everyone loves a campfire when out in the bush; they provide warmth on cold nights and give a place to sit and spin a yarn. Some people overlook the fact that they are great spots to cook a feed as well, as they often take a gas cooker of sorts on their trips. With the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate, cooking a meal big enough to feed a large group of people while out camping has never been easier.

The Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate is big, both in the surface area it has available for cooking on, and how high it sits above the fire. This height is an advantage in that it gives you greater flexibility in varying your temperature, as you can either have a small bed of coals underneath for a moderate and even heat, or you can really stoke it up when you want the sear on the outside of your steak to perfection. I’ve even had a large bed of coals beneath the grill section to cook steaks quickly, and have a smaller bed of coals under the hotplate section to cook things more slowly such as onions, tomatoes, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, etc. How good does that sound?

Cooking direct on the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate when camping is the way I use it most of the time. Who doesn’t like a scotch fillet cooked over the fire? It’s quick, easy, and requires the least amount of extra gear and preparation. If you aren’t too pressed for time however, and feel like upping your game, there are other techniques and accessories I recommend for cooking meals that will have everyone thinking you’re a genius.

An adventure Kings cast iron skillet can make a great addition to your cooking gear. I’ve cooked many meals with one of these over the fire by itself, but I find using one on the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate makes life a little easier, as the heat is easier to control and the platform you’re using is level. This ensures that the pan heats evenly and everything in there cooks in the same amount of time. The high sides make it easier to stir larger amounts of food without dropping them in the fire, and you can also cook a meal that requires a bit of liquid, such as a curry or bolognaise sauce.

If you require a little more space to cook a big saucy meal while camping, look no further than the Bedourie camp oven available from 4WDsupacentre. Besides putting it on the fire by itself, it can be used as a really big saucepan on the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate. The advantage of this camp oven is that the lid can be used as a frying pan as well.  Again, my main reason for cooking in this way allows me to regulate the temperature underneath more easily, so I can start a curry or stew off without things getting too hot like sometimes happens on the coals.

Another great technique is to sit the Bedourie camp oven on the hot plate section of the portable BBQ plate with a small bed of coals underneath. If you’re cooking for an exceptionally large group, you can fry steaks and snags up on the grill section of the portable BBQ plate, and as they finish cooking, put them in the Bedourie to keep warm. This is a great way of preventing the meat from overcooking and keeping it in one place.

Storage and transportation of the Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate when camping is a breeze with the included canvas cover. It folds away flat so it can be shoved into small spaces in the back of your vehicle, and the cover keeps grease and ash from getting onto your other camping gear. I’ve shoved mine between 2 coolers before, and even behind the seats in my single cab ute!

The Adventure Kings portable BBQ plate ensures cooking is a dream while camping and provides you with many options to impress your family and friends. Make sure you don’t leave home without one.
