Space can be tight when you’re camping in a car, but this grill takes up so little room it’s not a tough decision to take it along to give you some better options for dinner. Incredibly well built and design driven it’s easy to assemble. I’d consider making the lid part of your plans as like all grills they really help. It’s too heavy to consider backpacking with, but takes up so little room you can slide it in anywhere. Cleans up in the dishwasher too.
