“Hickory-smoked bacon sizzles on a griddle. The fat pools, spreads, and infuses eggs scrambling in butter nearby.
Did your salivary glands just twitch? Of course they did. To do bacon and eggs—and many other proper camping dishes—correctly it’s nice to have a griddle.…

We recently tried the Pinnacle Griddle from GSI Outdoors.

It’s aluminum and just a bit over two pounds, yet offers a generous 10 by 18-inch cooking area surrounded by a grease moat. The surface is some non-stick space-age stuff—which we eschew at home but which is nice for cleaning up with a limited water supply. The back is hard-anodized (GSI offers a non-anodized version called the Bugaboo).

The Pinnacle Griddle’s aluminum is fairly thin, which means low heat will suffice, but not so thin that there were hotspots—it heated and cooked evenly for both bacon and pancakes.

This roundup will cover 10 fun and effective camp gadgets that will tickle the fancies of novice explorers and seasoned adventurers alike.GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist cook set & ultra light kettle:

GSI Outdoors makes a wide variety of really cool camping cookware gear.

Amongst them are the Pinnacle Soloist cook set and the ultra-light teakettle.
The Soloist can hold 14 fl. oz., weighs in at 10.9 oz., and has the following dimensions: 5.00″ x 5.40″ x 5.50″.

Made with a rubber coated folding handle and a non-stick Teflon coating, it also comes with a vented plastic lid/strainer, insulated plastic bowl, collapsible plastic Spork, and a carrying pouch that doubles as a sink. Even though I would have preferred that the lid and bowl be made of metal and not plastic, they both seem quite sturdy.

The teakettle can hold 1 qt., weighs only 5.8 oz, and is 6.30″ x 6.00″ x 3.20″ in size. Both the teakettle handle and the lid handle are rubber coated. If you want a teakettle for camping, this is the one to get.

Both of these cookware items seem to me to be well-made, lightweight, and durable. If you need camping cook gear that just works whether it is used for tailgate camping or backpacking, you should consider checking out GSI Outdoors.”
