500bm Int'l Edition: Camp Touring Item Review: "B-6 kun" Portable BBQ Grill

In today's episode, I would like to introduce a Compact Portable Grill "B-6 kun".

This "made-in-Japan" fire pit/BBQ grill can be folded to B-6 paper size.

What is "B-6" paper size? Standardized by ISO 216, "A" and "B" paper sizes are used in many countries. B-6 is 125x176mm and this is slightly larger than a post card (100×148mm).

I have bought this as well as a grill plate from an online shop (via Rakuten). The grill was 4,935 yen, the grill plate was 735 yen, plus 840 yen shipping.

The size is significant but I was more surprised with its design and quality.

Everything can be packed in a small bag.

The grill top is designed especially for this grill and it can be packed together.

When you open the side-walls, the rest of items are stored inside.

A tong on the photo is not included. I found this at a local 100-yen shop.

All over the grill side walls, ventilation holes are punched for acceleration of airflow (chimney effect).

This is so easy to assemble. I don’t even need to explain.

If you built it several times, you should be able to complete it in 2~3 min.

You can place metal beams, which come with the grill, and they act as a spider when you wish to use a kettle or pan.

I mainly use this for BBQ and occasionally as a fire pit to stay warm. So I mainly use the grill plate. This grill plate is a very thick and tough one. After you used, you can just use a metal brash and detergent to clean.

This grill made my camping dinner so much nicer. On the way to get to the camp site, because I have this grill, I always look for a local market or store to find the local food I can cook.

When I am done eating, I can just watch fire and have some drinks and/or talking with friends.
This is a very small camping item but it can make your trip so much fun!
