Foldable, portable barbecue device looks good enough to cook on

Now that most people are already out there going on all sorts of adventures in the outdoors, we’re also seeing new products, or at least concepts of products that can be used for these trips. Picnicking, biking, trekking, and camping are just some of the outdoor activities that people like to do on the weekends after a grueling week in the concrete jungle. So they’re always on the look out for things that are handy enough to bring and useful enough to want to bring on these trips.

When you first see the Yuanye and it’s folded and you have no idea what it is, you might be forgiven for thinking it’s a portable projector that you can bring with you on your trip. It’s actually a portable, outdoor barbecue grilling pan you can bring on your outdoor adventures. When you open it up, you’ll see that there are two partitions where you can grill your meats on one side and your vegetable on the other. The device also comes with a gas tank, fire source, and oil storage module.

The design of this portable grill is inspired by the usual suitcases we bring when we travel, from the foldable design to the handle and all the accessories. But instead of being storage for clothes and other stuff we need, it’s actually for the food that we need when we’re going on a picnic or camping out in the middle of nature. Based on the product renders, you can cook steak, barbecue, and all kinds of meats as well as vegetables so you get a well-rounded meal even if you’re outdoors.

The Yuanye Outdoor Barbecue Pan is something that will probably appeal to those planning to go on these outdoor trips but would also want to cook for themselves. The fact that it’s a fashionable piece of a device is just a bonus since that’s not really a priority when choosing your camping or picnic tools. It seems easy to assemble and use, which is more of a concern of course rather than just looking good enough to carry around.

Compact, portable gas stove eliminates wire mesh, making it easy to clean after camping outdoors!

Camping is a great activity to venture out from your comfort zone into an environment that’s different. If your next awesome expedition is leading you to colder locations, it’s befitting to pack a portable gas stove along so the effect of temperature variation is minimized and you’re cozy irrespective of the weather outside the tent. Camping heater is a tried and tested domain where a range of manufactures have conceptualized their own variations. Once dependent on wood-fired stoves, the industry has evolved into portable gas stoves, yet design progress remains attainable.

A gas stove designed with motifs of a cart has been conceptualized by a Seoul-based designer to that accord. Dubbed “HAUL”, the minimalist gas stove is perceived in an inviting color combination, has a brilliant overall design, which relies on the convenience of portability and eliminates the metal mesh from the heating surface. The highlight of the HAUL, as the designer mentions is its neat design. The stove is redesigned sans “protruding wire mesh,” which is a disadvantage with conventional gas stoves. In addition, the compact heater is designed to be lightweight and has an integrated stable stand and a carry handle. The interesting red and white gas stove has a rotating knob on the top for temperature control and ignites the stove or turns it off when not required.

The gas heater comes with a simple clip-in gas canister that goes into its compartment at the back of the HAUL and is convenient to install and replace. We are not sure of what material the designer intends to deliver the gas stove in, but going by the design we are sure, it will ensure hassle-free installation and deliver instant heat to cozy up your tent or tiny house the moment you get it out of the car boot!

A portable camping stove meets DHL’s design language creating a briefcase sized outdoor must-have!

It’s no secret that camping requires a certain amount of know-how. For instance, knowing how to get fires going, knowing how to pitch a tent and conserve water, how to cook and make your way through a forest unscathed are skills that will help trips to the outdoors feel less stressful and a lot more comfortable. With so many people camping nowadays, designers at PDF Haus have conceptualized a minimal camp grill called Shelf, a portable gas grill with folding shelves and a table.

Developed in the design language of DHL, PDF Haus aimed to give Shelf a simple box silhouette with a freewheeling attitude, taking inspiration from the color scheme, materials and finishes often chosen by DHL for their vehicles and brand aesthetic. The grill even comes with DHL decals and tags that can be adhered to the metallic grill’s front case that turns into its table extension. While most gas stoves come with a separate carrying case, Shelf’s entire grill has been turned into one that can be consolidated and carried away. Shaped and carried like a slim briefcase, two metal clasps open and slide out to reveal the Shelf’s grill and supplementary table space. Just beneath the grill, Shelf includes two retractable shelves that create more space for whoever’s cooking to place their spices, utensils, or tools. Blooming from Shelf’s underside like an awning, the shelves, and the sliding tables nearly double Shelf’s overall area.

Comprising a total thickness of 50mm when laid flat, Shelf’s slim frame allows it to slip easily onto any camp packing list. Reaching 278mm in height and 400mm in width, the compact build of Shelf’s entire grill is only given more weight once propane gas containers are inserted into its underside to activate the grill and get to cooking. Battery operated, Shelf features a battery inlet underneath as well that gives power to the grill’s automatic ignition system.

Shelf’s simple box frame is reminiscent of DHL’s stripped-down brand aesthetic.

The grill’s shelf awnings remain hidden, folded into Shelf’s underbelly.

Metal clasps unlock to allow Shelf’s table extension to slide and provide further storage options.

A rubber handle allows users to carry Shelf like a slim briefcase.

The grill features an intuitive, recognizable control panel that allows users to adjust temperature and flame settings.

Shelf also comes equipped with space for a detachable drip pan, battery inlet, and a fuel nozzle.

Conceptualized in an array of different colors, Shelf is the perfect camping companion.

Decals and extra tags from DHL can be attached to Shelf’s metallic surface.

This foldable dual stovetop works in double time to save space and provide a full meal while camping!

So, you got the perfect off-road campsite in Big Sur. A view of the Pacific ocean is only a stone’s throw away and it’s your first morning of the trip. There’s a vista a couple of yards in front of the tent and you can’t shake the image of yourself with a steaming cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich filled with eggs, cheese, bacon, you know, the works. It’s paradise, just you, a cup of coffee, your current read, the roaring Pacific, and a breakfast sandwich to fuel your hike later in the day. But then, the kid’s tent moves and the whole family’s awake. Looks like you’ll be making breakfast for five. We’ve all been there. Big trips with a crowd of hungry mouths to feed.

Beom-Seok Lee knows the story all too well, which inspired camping cookware design produced in the style of Korea’s popular kitchen lifestyle brand, Haatz Co. Lee’s induction dual stovetop was constructed to make those tiring, family trips a little bit more relaxing and easygoing because that’s what camping’s all about if you’re doing it right. Eating is a necessary part of any family trip and cooking for the whole family can sometimes take up that prime golden hour time that should be spent fireside. The design for the induction dual stovetop provides two induction surfaces suited for various kinds of cookware and less time spent actually cooking. Since the family was at the center of this design, Lee incorporated a safety sensor that must alert users of surfaces that might be too hot to touch and an intuitive interface that younger folks can understand just as well as the adults. For instance, a sliding temperature control touch bar allows users to increase or decrease the temperature for either induction surface.

The stovetop uses a classic folding mechanism to make the product portable, which means the overall thickness of the induction stovetop is a compact 4 inches. Opening up just like a book, the stovetop, once un-latched and expanded, reaches a total cooking area of 31.5 inches, with one 9-inch, and one 6-inch induction round. The induction stovetop comes equipped with a 220V power cord which provides the stovetop with electric power for operation. Lee decided to make this stovetop design electric because nowadays, many campers are choosing glamping and car-camping over roughing it, which could give way to additional eco-friendly means of cooking while off-the-grid. The additional induction surface might set Lee’s design above other preexisting designs on the market because it allows for more efficient food preparation, which allows for more family time and more time spent drinking coffee and reading on that vista I can’t stop thinking about.

A foldable mini stove that fits in your hiking pants!

Have you seen Tiny Kitchen videos? A student industrial designer, Elad Achi, took Tiny Kitchen’s stove up several notches and that is how Katipo was created. Katipo is a foldable outdoor gas stove that can fit in the palm of your hand. Imagine the weight and space that can be saved when you go camping or backpacking with Katipo instead of usual outdoor stoves.

Katipo got its name because its shape and form resembles that of a Katipo spider. It is an Australian redback spider that is small in size with long legs that bend at angles which inspired the stove’s own leg stand and tiny size. The Katipo is a stainless steel stove that folds into a portable size of 50 mm wide and 120 mm long, and when opened it is 180 mm in diameter. “Each leg has a cutting edge that stops its motion by a stopper pin and opens to the angle of 120° and thus produces an equal opening to them all perfectly” explains Elad Achi. Apart from the product proportions, even the colors of the stove were inspired by the spider’s red and black body. The stove’s red and black look comes from a ceramic-based color that is heat resistant.

It is the perfect size when you want to go on a long hike or camp in nature and have warm meals. The stove may be small but it is a powerful outdoor trip essential and something to keep you cozy under the stars.
