UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit

The UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit is a stainless steel collapsible grill and open-fire cooking platform that folds to between 1.1 and 1.75 inches thick for transport and storage. It works with firewood or charcoal in either open-fire or grate mode, and includes a grill grate and carry case. Three sizes cover solo and small-group cooking through large group meals: Small (9" x 6.75" grilling area, 2 lbs), Medium (13" x 10", 3.3 lbs), and Large (20" x 16", 9.5 lbs).

Flat-Pack Storage That Actually Fits Your Kit

The Flatpack collapses to between 1.1 and 1.75 inches thick depending on size, which means it slides into a pack sleeve, a truck storage bin, or a door pocket without claiming space you need for other gear. The included carry case keeps the grill contained and protects other kit from soot or residue. For overlanders and car campers who pack deliberately, a grill that stores flat rather than nesting inside a stack of other cookware is a meaningful space trade-off.

Two Cooking Modes, One Piece of Kit

The Flatpack functions as an open-fire pit without the grate or as a raised grill surface with it. That means one item covers campfire ambiance and direct-heat cooking without carrying separate hardware for each. Charcoal or firewood both work, so fuel sourcing stays flexible depending on where you're camped and what fire restrictions allow.

Stainless Steel Construction for Long-Term Use

All three sizes are built from stainless steel, which resists corrosion from weather exposure and repeated heat cycling better than coated or painted alternatives. A grill that lives in a truck or overland rig sees more temperature swings and moisture than one stored in a garage; stainless construction holds up to that use pattern without flaking or rusting through the cooking surface.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The UCO Flatpack suits overlanders, car campers, backpackers, and tailgaters who want a single piece of kit that handles both open-fire and grate cooking and stores flat when not in use. The Small fits solo travelers and couples; the Medium works for small groups of three to five; the Large covers larger camp groups of six to eight.

The Flatpack is not rated for indoor use and must not be used inside a tent, vehicle, or enclosed space. It supports firewood and charcoal only, not gas or propane. Buyers in areas with strict open-fire or charcoal restrictions should verify local rules before purchasing.

Common Questions

What fuel does the UCO Flatpack work with?

The UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit is designed for firewood and charcoal only. It does not support gas or propane. The open body design works with either fuel type, and the included grill grate can be placed over the fire for direct-heat cooking or removed for open-fire use.

What is included with the Flatpack Grill?

Each UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit comes with a grill grate and a carry case. All three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) include both the grate and the carry case. No additional fuel, firestarter, or cooking tools are included.

How thick does the Flatpack pack down to?

Packed thickness varies by size: the Medium folds to 1.1 inches thick, the Small to 1.5 inches, and the Large to 1.75 inches. All three are designed to slide flat into a pack, storage bin, or bag rather than requiring a dedicated bulky case.

Which size should I choose?

The UCO Flatpack Small (9" x 6.75" grilling area, 2 lbs) is sized for one to two people. The Medium (13" x 10", 3.3 lbs) suits groups of three to five. The Large (20" x 16", 9.5 lbs) is intended for six to eight people. Choosing by group size rather than by packed size is the more reliable guide, since grilling area is the practical constraint.

Can the Flatpack be used as a fire pit without the grill grate?

Yes. The UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit functions as an open-fire pit when the grill grate is not installed. The body contains the fire and airflow without the grate in place, so it can be used for warmth or ambiance as well as for cooking with the grate on top.
