Campingaz Party Grill | All-in-One Portable Camping Stove and Grill
Product description
What it is
The Campingaz Party Grill is an all-in-one portable camping barbecue designed to cover various cooking needs on the go. It combines a pan support, a grilling grid, and a reversible plancha/griddle with a non-stick coating, plus a large lid that doubles as a wok surface. This setup aims to replace multiple bits of kit with a single, compact unit.
How it performs
On paper, the grill delivers up to 2000 W of adjustable power, fed by Campingaz CV 470 Plus gas cartridges or R907 cylinders. Estimated runtime is up to 3 hours on a standard cartridge, with a quick push-and-turn Piezo ignition intended to work in different weather conditions. A water compartment helps collect grease, and all cooking components are dishwasher safe for easier cleaning. When folded, the unit fits inside the stove body, aided by detachable legs and a lockable lid for transport.
What stands out
The setup offers a flexible cooking surface: use the grill for chops and burgers, the plancha/griddle for stir-fries or pancakes, or the wok lid to handle high-heat frying. The large lid effectively broadens the cooking options beyond a typical portable grill. The carriages and pans are designed to be cleaned in a dishwasher, which is handy after outdoor meals.
What isn’t as strong
If you prioritise compact weight over continuous high-output cooking, 4.9 kg isn’t the lightest option among compact stoves. Also, while the 2000 W output is comfortable for outdoor meals, it may take longer to boil larger quantities compared to bigger dedicated camp stoves. Dependence on gas cartridges means ongoing fuel sourcing matters, especially in larger trips or remote areas.
Who it’s for
This product suits campers who want one versatile unit rather than several separate bits of kit. It’s practical for weekend trips or family outings where you’ll prepare a mix of grilled, stir-fry, and pan-cooked foods. It’s also reasonable for those who value easy cleaning and straightforward assembly, thanks to dishwasher-safe parts and a compact overall form.
Who it isn’t for
It may not be ideal if you need ultra-high heat for heavy crowd cooking or if you’re aiming to keep set-up ultra-light for long backpacking trips. If you mostly cook for one or two and require minimal gear, a smaller, simpler setup might be easier to carry.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this when you want a single, adaptable outdoor cooking solution that can cover grilling, pan-cooking, and wok-style dishes without swapping devices. If you already rely on a gas cartridge system or anticipate frequent use in European regions where CV 470 Plus cartridges are common, it aligns well with those needs.
What to check before purchasing
Confirm type of gas you plan to use (CV 470 Plus cartridge or R907 cylinder) and ensure you have compatible fuel sources available locally. Consider whether the size and weight fit your typical trips, and check if you’ll benefit from the included carry bag for transport.
Practical usage example
Picture a weekend by the lake: you sear chicken on the grill grid, sauté vegetables on the plancha, and finish a bean-and-tresh fry on the wok lid. All happens on one surface, with grease collected in the water tray and the whole unit tucked back into its case for the drive home.
FAQ (brief)
- How long does the gas last? Up to about 3 hours on a CV 470 Plus cartridge, depending on heat settings and use.
- Can you clean the parts in a dishwasher? Yes, the pan support, grids and griddles are dishwasher safe.
- What surfaces does it support? It includes a grill grid, a pan support and a reversible plancha/griddle, plus a lid that doubles as a wok surface.
Should you buy it?
Is it worth it? It makes sense if you want a versatile, space-saving camp cooking solution that can handle multiple cooking styles in one unit. If your trips demand minimal gear and easy maintenance, this design offers coherent value. If you primarily need ultra-light gear or plan to cook at scale for many people, you may prefer separate pieces that specialise in each task.
