Campervanning is a great way to get outdoors and travel on your own terms. The only downside is that cooking in such a small space can be a real pain. Tiny stoves, clunky BBQs and campsites that don’t allow open fires can make even simple meals feel like a chore. The Konro however, changes that. It’s compact, easily transported and lets you cook over real fire anywhere you park, giving you good heat, glowing embers and a proper sear on whatever you throw at it.
Cooking Outside Your Van
When the weather’s good, it makes sense to cook outside. The Konro’s design keeps surfaces safe so you can set it up on grass or a picnic table without worrying about scorching the surface below. You still get the embers and flames you need to sear steak, char vegetables or cook slower meats steadily. It’s simple to manage and doesn’t take long to get going, so there’s no more of that last minute realisation that the BBQ gas bottle is empty right when you were about to light up!
Cooking outside also makes cleaning up easy. There’s no mess on the floor and you don’t have to worry about burning anything underneath. You get the experience of real fire-cooked food without all the hassle.
Small, Portable and Flexible
As a romantic evening in the van will prove, space in a camper can be tight! The Konro is small enough to pack away without taking over your storage, but it’s still powerful enough to handle a full meal for the family. Leather handles make it easy to move and the grill comes apart into modular pieces so you can swap in skewers, racks or chapa plates depending on what you’re cooking.
The vents give you control over airflow, which means you can adjust the heat exactly how you want it. Open them to get hotter flames for a fast sear or close them down a little to keep a steady bed of embers for slow cooking. You can prepare heat zones easily without overcomplicating things.
Efficient Fire and Easy Clean-Up
The Konro holds heat well so your coals stay hot for longer. You use less fuel and can get on with cooking instead of constantly topping up. When you’re done, the grill is simple to pack up. Once the coals are cool, just remove the top, wipe it out and pack it into its carry bag.

FAQs
Can you use a Konro grill at campsites that don’t allow open fires?
In many cases, yes, but check with the venue first. The Konro PRO 5.4 has a heat-insulated body and an air-gap design that protects the surface beneath it. That means it can be used on picnic tables or grass without scorching them. It’s always worth checking the campsite rules, but it’s generally a safer option than a ground fire.
Is the Konro PRO 5.4 practical to carry?
The grill is compact and designed to be easy to transport, but it is still quite heavy. For anything other than a short journey it’s useful to be able to put the grill inside a car boot, or better still, it won’t take up much storage space in a van, and the leather carry handles make it easy to move from your vehicle to your cooking spot.
What fuel should you use with a Konro grill while travelling?
Binchotan charcoal is ideal. The Konro retains heat efficiently, so embers stay glowing for longer, providing steady heat for slow cooking or high flames for searing. This allows you to control your fire for both sear and char while keeping fuel usage efficient.
Is it easy to switch between cooking styles on the Konro?
Yes. The vents let you control how hot the fire gets, so you can go from quick sears to slower cooking without any hassle. You can also switch accessories depending on what you’re cooking to make sure you’re getting the most out of your grill.
Is the Konro difficult to clean after cooking on the road?
Cleaning the Konro is straightforward. Once the charcoal has cooled, you can remove the grill surface and brush away any ash. Because the fire is contained inside the unit, there is usually less mess compared to cooking over an open fire, which makes packing it away much easier.
