A Little Backpacking Grill & Trail Quesadillas

Nothing special here- just a little gear review! Introducing the Uniflame Mini Roaster.

We'd hoped to put this grill to the test with some fresh trout, but alas, the wind was high and the fish were not biting. So instead, we had a few quesadilla appetizers to accompany our margaritas. The grill performed admirably, a little unstable, does not diffuse heat too well but does enable a slow roast so long as you keep a watchful eye. These quesadillas took about 5 minutes per batch to melt and brown on a relatively low fuel flow.

For 110g and ~$20, it's a fun little ditty that merits continued testing. I think it has a lot of potential at high elevation or while fire restrictions are in effect for fish cookery and toasting in general.

I made a small reflective protector for the gas canister out of insulation material and foil tape. Tinfoil would work great, too.

Margaritas: a quesadillas's best friend

No melting cheese action shot, unfortunately- they were demolished far too quickly. Next time!
