A BBQ That Actually Makes Sense for Van Life

Finding decent cooking equipment for van life is more of an art than it should be. Everything needs to earn its place. Enter the RidgeMonkey Grilla BBQ.

How Does It Cook?

Better than I expected from something this compact. I tested it with vegetables, halloumi, and chicken. Heat distribution is even and it holds temperature well.

Is It Worth It?

Yes. Compact enough to store, robust enough to survive van life, and it cooks properly.
