5 Must-Have Items for Your Camping Grilling Needs
As summer hits full stride and campsites fill up, there’s no better time to pack up your grilling gear and hit the road. Whether your ideal camping trip is exploring the mountains, tailgating by the lake, or spending time on the beach with a cooler and some brats, the right grilling gear makes all the difference.
When you're grilling away from your normal backyard setup, you need equipment that’s portable, durable, and easy to clean. No worries — we’ve got you covered!
Here at Kick Ash Basket, our innovative grill baskets and accessories are designed to enhance efficiency, flavor, and ease. Check out these must-have camping BBQ essentials to help you eat well in the great outdoors.
1. PKGO Portable Grill Accessories
Camping often means compromise, but with the compact PKGO Grill, you get full-sized flavor in a small, road-ready package. This grill is a favorite among campers and on-the-go travelers due to its size and durability, and our grilling accessories make it even better.
With the Kick Ash Basket and stainless steel cooking grate for the PKGO, your camping BBQ game just got a level up.
The Kick Ash Basket provides improved airflow, helping boost temperature, improve fuel efficiency, and minimize charcoal waste on your portable grill.
Tired of lugging around all sorts of heavy camping gear? Easy transport is a must. Our stainless steel grate is significantly lighter than the stock cast iron grate that comes with the PKGO, making packing and transport much easier.

2. Fire & Camp-Ready Heat-Resistant Gloves
Oven mitts just don’t cut it when you're cooking over an open flame or stoking charcoal just inches from the heat. Our Kick Ash Basket Heat Resistant Gloves are the perfect accessory to add to your camping and barbecue tool kit.
While we don’t want to encourage dumb ash moves, like sticking your hand directly in the flames, these heat-resistant gloves can be used for all sorts of camping and BBQ needs. With protection up to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, they’ll offer extra protection when you’re refueling the fire pit or adjusting your charcoal basket.
The unique material is breathable and flexible, so you won’t feel uncomfortable when relaxing around the campsite, flipping sausages, or adjusting coals on the fly. Plus, the extra non-slip silicone ensures a tight grip and improved safety.

3. Ring of Fire for Weber Kettle Grills
Are you bringing your portable Weber Kettle to the campsite? Up your camping BBQ game with the Kick Ash Ring of Fire, a simple yet game-changing insert that improves airflow, makes charcoal management a breeze, and allows for offset cooking.
Designed specifically for the Weber® 18-inch Kettle grill (the perfect size for camping), the Ring of Fire transforms your stock grill grate into a Kick Ash Basket — with a divider for easy offset cooking. When in place, it creates a controllable heat zone that’s perfect for searing steaks or slow-cooking some ribs in a non-standard setting.
It also helps improve airflow and promotes efficient fuel usage, which is a big plus when you’re miles from the nearest store to restock.
