Become an RV Grill Master with These Essential Tips

Summer has arrived, and there’s nothing quite like grilling outdoors to complement your RV adventures. For many RV enthusiasts, grilling is an integral part of the experience—who doesn’t love the aroma of sizzling meat and veggies in the great outdoors? If you’re new to grilling while RV camping, these tips will help you become a grill master wherever you go!

Pack a Grill Kit

You don’t need a kitchen’s worth of gadgets to grill delicious meals while RV camping. However, a few essential items can make a big difference. Be sure to pack:

• A grill – Depending on your storage space and preferences, choose a portable, collapsible grill or a full-size one. Both propane and charcoal options work well. 
• A grill grate – A grill grate is the perfect tool for grilling over an open campfire.
• Cast iron pans – Ideal for high-heat cooking, cast iron pans are versatile for grilling and preparing sauces.
• Tongs – At least two sets are necessary—one for handling food and another for managing charcoal if you’re using a charcoal grill.
• Other Supplies – Don’t forget a cutting board, carving knife, charcoal briquettes or wood chunks, and a meat thermometer.

Plan Your Menu

Just like any RV trip, planning your meals in advance is crucial. This ensures you have all the ingredients and spices you need. Consider your RV’s fridge and freezer space and whether you’ll be near a grocery store to restock during your trip. Some dishes, like steaks and burgers are straightforward and require minimal prep. Others, like smoked chicken or ribs, need more detailed planning and preparation.

Make Your Own Spice Rubs

Save space by leaving bulky spice bottles at home. Instead, create your own rubs and sauces ahead of time and store them in compact, stackable containers. Customizing your spice mixes allows you to enhance the flavors of your grilled meats and vegetables just the way you like them.
