Having a portable grill during an emergency can be a life saver. Although there are many grills available, you should select one that is simple to operate and easy to clean. In a real emergency or disaster, shortages of supplies are very common so your portable grill should be one that provides for many fuel options.

The ease of operation should be a main considerations when selecting a portable grill. During an emergency, you may need to travel or move, so fitting into the tiniest possible space and being easy to carry or store is very important. Fitting inside an easy to carry bag or small tote size container makes it easy to have on hand and transport in any situation. The parts involved in collapsing and storing should be reliable so that it doesn’t wear out from being opened and closed for storage. In addition, after use, it should be as easy to clean as possible so that it can be readily stored again.

Versatility of the fuel source it can use is a major consideration too. In an emergency or natural disaster, it may be difficult to obtain specific fuels. Tanks and delivery mechanisms for things like propane may be damaged or unusable, so it’s important that a portable grill also be able to use other fuel sources like wood and charcoal. When a grill can use multiple fuel sources, you can be assured that you will be able to find some fuel for your grill no matter what. Even when there are no other fuel options available, there is almost always wood available in the natural environment to use as a fuel source. So, having wood as an optional fuel is a must.

Grilled food is not the only thing that a versatile grill will provide for you and your family during an emergency. In the aftermath of most natural disasters, the most immediate need of most people is clean, drinkable water. Immediately after a disaster or emergency, you will be able to boil water with your grill because it has multiple fuel options and you will be able to provide clean drinking water for your family. You will have your own method to get clean drinkable water while others may have to wait for several days before clean water is delivered or available. Additionally, with a portable grill you can provide yourself and your family with warmth even when all of the normal services that provide household heating are not available.

A portable grill can go a long way to ensuring your family’s safety and comfort after an emergency or other natural disaster and it should be a part of your emergency preparedness kit. Being warm enough, having clean water, and being able to have a warm meal can make the days immediately following an emergency much more comfortable.
