Outdoor Cooking Without Plastic — Campfire & Grill Gear

Why it matters outdoors

Outdoor cooking pushes gear harder — open flames, uneven heat, rough handling. Plastic handles melt, coatings flake. Cast iron, stainless, and titanium hold up without chemicals.

Campfire classics

The Lodge camp oven is designed for coals, with legs and a lid that holds embers. It’s ideal for stews or baking bread outdoors.

Lightweight steel

Snow Peak’s cookset packs light but resists dents. For backpackers, it’s a safer alternative to aluminum pots.

Grills & pans

The Solo Stove grill burns cleaner with less smoke, while the MSR Alpine fry pan withstands campfire cooking without warping.

Outdoors, durability is safety. Plastic-free gear avoids melted handles and chemicals over flame.
