RidgeMonkey Grilla BBQ: Is It the Best Portable BBQ for Van Life?

The RidgeMonkey Grilla BBQ is the BEST portable BBQ for van life, camping, and outdoor cooking — and most people have never even heard of it. In this video, I unbox, set up, and put the Grilla BBQ to the test for the very first time, cooking a full meal from my campervan in the wild. If you love outdoor cooking, camping gear reviews, or van life content, this one is for you. Living in a van full-time means getting creative with how you cook. I have tried camp stoves, gas burners, and open fires — but nothing compares to the RidgeMonkey Grilla BBQ. It is compact enough to store in a campervan, lightweight enough to carry anywhere, and powerful enough to cook a proper barbecue wherever you park up. Whether you are at a campsite in Spain, wild camping in the mountains, or parked up on a beach, this portable grill changes everything about outdoor cooking. In this honest review, I share my first impressions straight out of the box, show you exactly how to set it up, and cook a real meal so you can see how it performs. No sponsorship, no script — just a genuine review from someone who actually lives in a van and needs gear that works in the real world.
