How to Use the Takibi Fire & Grill Small for Campfire Cooking

Quick answer

To use the Takibi Fire & Grill Small for campfire cooking, first assemble the four-piece set on stable ground, build a small fire on the base plate, then place the fireplace grill bridge over the flames and adjust cooking height by adding or removing embers.

Step-by-step guide to using the Takibi Fire & Grill Small

1. 1. Choose a safe, level spot: Place the base plate on flat, non-flammable ground (dirt, gravel, or sand). Avoid dry grass or wooden decks. The base plate protects the ground from heat and embers. Never set up on asphalt or concrete – it can crack from heat. Use a fire-safe mat underneath if needed.
2. 2. Assemble the fireplace: Unfold the Pack & Carry Fireplace S and place it on the base plate. This stainless steel frame holds your firewood and creates a contained burn area. Ensure it sits level and stable. Check that the fireplace legs are fully locked into position before adding any fuel.
3. 3. Build your fire: Use small kindling and dry firewood. Stack wood in a teepee or log cabin pattern inside the fireplace. Light the kindling and let the fire establish a bed of hot coals (about 15-20 minutes). Don't rush – cooking over flames instead of coals leads to burnt food. Wait until the wood has burned down to glowing embers.
4. 4. Place the grill bridge: Fit the Fireplace Grill Bridge S across the top of the fireplace. The bridge rests on the rim and provides a stable surface for your cookware or food. Make sure the bridge is centered and doesn't wobble. If it rocks, adjust the fireplace position or add a small flat stone under one leg.
5. 5. Start cooking: Place a pot, pan, or directly grill food on the bridge. Control heat by adding or removing embers under the cooking area. For high heat, push coals directly under the bridge; for low heat, spread them to the sides. Use long-handled tongs and a heat-resistant glove – the stainless steel gets very hot. Never leave the fire unattended.
6. 6. Extinguish and pack up: Let the fire burn out completely or douse with water/ sand. Once cool to the touch, disassemble the fireplace, wipe the grill bridge and base plate, and store everything in the included canvas bag. Never pack a warm fireplace into the canvas bag – it can melt or cause a fire. Wait at least 30 minutes after extinguishing before packing.
