Camping gas grill in practical test: How the Bestargot small grill convinces

1. Compact solution for spontaneous barbecue adventures

Who hasn't experienced this? You're on a camping trip by the lake and suddenly the urge for a freshly grilled meal strikes. With the Bestargot camping gas grill, this spontaneous idea is easily realized. Thanks to its dimensions (20 x 15 x 22 cm), the device even fits in the side pocket of a backpack – practical for hikes or canoe trips.

2. Material processing under the microscope

Upon first picking it up, you'll be surprised by its noticeable weight of 1.8 kg. No wonder: the entire body is made of 2 mm thick stainless steel . During testing, the stability was particularly impressive, even on uneven forest floors.

3. Multifunctionality in detail

Gas operation with standard 450g cartridges
Optional charcoal insert for smoke flavors
Integrated wind skirt for side gusts

4. Everyday suitability for urban camping

For city dwellers with small balconies, the grill was specially designed with a side smoke outlet. During a test run on a 4 m² terrace , hardly any smoke was produced – ideal for densely populated residential areas.

Practical tip: Use the energy mix

Pre-cook meat with gas, then add charcoal for a smoky flavor. This saves up to 40% fuel.

5. Safety features for outdoor newbies

Particularly reassuring: the automatic throttle shutoff mechanism in the event of a fall. This safety device worked reliably in our tests on sloping surfaces. The heat-resistant knobs prevent burns when operating them.

6. Cleaning miracle or rust trap?

After three weeks of continuous operation, it became clear that grease splashes could be easily wiped away with a damp cloth. The removable drip tray makes cleaning much easier.

7. Environmental aspects under review

Compared to conventional camping stoves, the grill scores with 30% lower gas consumption. Thanks to efficient combustion, the CO₂ footprint is 1.2 kg lower per grilling day than typical charcoal grills .

Advantages and disadvantages at a glance:

✔️ Extremely quick to set up (less than 2 minutes)
✔️ No flying sparks in case of forest fire danger
❌ Limited barbecue area for groups
❌ Higher purchase price

8. Long-term test results after 6 months

Our long-term test unit withstood even subzero winter temperatures. The seals showed no signs of wear, and the chrome plating shone like new after cleaning. Only the feet developed slight scratches from coarse gravel.

9. Accessory recommendations from professionals

For full-throttle grillers, the additional steak attachment with grooves for perfect grill patterns is worthwhile. The practical carrying bag protects against dust and moisture in the trunk.

10. Conclusion: Is the investment worth it?

For frequent travelers and quality-conscious people, definitely yes. The combination of durability and flexibility justifies the price. Occasional campers should consider renting the grill – it's likely to become addictive after the first successful grilling experience!
