Titanium Fire Box Grill (T-433)

I have this and have used it several times. It's designed for 4 BBQ briquettes and steaks, chops, and has no secondary function or use.

It is not designed for burgers or other processed meats that might disintegrate (due to the wide grill bars) and it is not designed as a twig or wood stove, there is no feed port and none is intended. And it is too delicate to put pans of water on.

As there are only 4 coals (it is clearly designed like that) and they are not crushed together (the concentration of heat accelerates then catching) but as they are spread out lighting them is an issue. You need firelighters and it takes a good while for the coals to catch. This is not a quick option, unlike disposable BBQs which can be ready very quickly.

BUT if you want an ultralight BBQ in the wilds, with steak or chops, then this is good. The grill is the right distance to the coals. For reference it will do one large steak or 3 standard lamb chops. The 4 coals last long enough to do two full meat grills, and I've used it for a third grilling of Portobello Mushroom. I have bought separately one of those Titanium Grill plates, the £20 ones from China. I have used that to grill freshly caught trout, but I would not put it directly on the wide grill bars.

The Honey & Hive Titanium is a more flexible choice, but it's also more expensive and a fiddly clip-together. I like this in my pack (along with alcohol stove & pans) for when I'm not in the woods/twiggy areas (that means I'm on hills or mountains) and I just want a simple, lightweight, way to grill my steak & chops.

I purchased this a while ago, I love that it packs flat and the whole thing is connected so I can’t lose any parts. Upon my first use I had to put a safety pin through the latch that holds it all together not a big issue. the problem is that there is not that much room to put your charcoal or wood and the grill pretty much has to come down otherwise it loses its shape a pain with food on the grill, a couple of tent pegs through the bottom does counter this but it is still a delicate process. If you lift up the grill there is gap between the sides of fuel area, sometimes it comes apart a bit to much and i have to tip the embers on the ground (not what I want to do) & wait a short while for it to cool and reasemble. I recently ordered the honey stove, the little door is great to be able to put fuel in without disturbing the top grill. I have the honey stove now and this will be a back up or extra cooking space. This product is not bad but the honey stove is another league, especally for the same price (nearly)

Just a quick note to say im very impressed with the firebox, ive not had chance to try it out yet but build quality is very good and I suspect it will give me many years service. Also the service from Bob and Rose is 1st class!

i bought this as transportabel grill/fireplace for Packrafting tours and it is really Everything i expected

Bought one of these a bit over a year ago and am so impressed with it. Strong sturdy design. It sets up in literally 2 seconds maybe 3 if your hands are cold. Folds away in the same amount of time into a small flat package. Seems as efficient as other burners, can fit a couple of pans on the grill which sits steadily in place and flips up when you need to add wood. Brilliant design all round. I've had most the grills going and think I'll be sticking with this for quite some time.

Highly recommend giving it a go, favourite bit of gear purchased in a while.

Haven't had a chance to test the product out yet but usual Vargo quality and ultralight, ideal size for 1-2 people. Great customer service and nice sweets. 5/5
