Fold-away cooktops are lightweight and easy to carry for camping or outdoor cooking. Cooktop sizes vary from a single burner to a full, three-burner cooktop. Fold-away grills are also available for outdoor cooking or camping. Fuels range from charcoal to propane.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose a smaller fold-away cooktop, if you are cooking for yourself or two people at the most. Choose a model that's lightweight and portable, so it's easier to carry. A smaller fold-away cooktop for one or two people can be a mini-unit or two burner cooktop that folds up like a clam shell for easy storage.

  2. Step 2

    Buy a fold-away cooktop model that is large enough to cook several items at once, if you have an RV or camper. If you are cooking for more than two people, consider buying a three-burner cooktop that uses propane for fuel. These tabletop models are easy to set up. The cooktop comes in a carrying case and folds for easy storage in your RV or camper.

  3. Step 3

    Compare fold-away grills as an alternative to the three-burner cooktop. Fold-away grills are easy to use if you're cooking for more than two people. They fold for easy storage and are great for road trips and tail gate parties. Fold-away grills are available as tabletop models, models with detachable legs and deluxe models on wheels that fold away. Pro models are available in fold-away grills that collapse for easier storage and feature a larger cooking area and built-in equipment storage.
