Zia Mega Grills Can Take the Weight!

Zia Mega Grills are made by Gary, aka the "Zia Grill Guy". Zia full size titanium grills are the lightest backpacking grills on the planet. Full size grills weigh less than an ounce but are capable of supporting up to 2 pounds of weight. Some people use really hot fires to grill or need to support even heavier loads. The Mega Grill modification can handle intense heat and heavier loads.

Grills are made of pure titanium, which is not altered by the heat of a moderate campfire or even charcoal briquettes. However, a heavily weighted grill can sag if placed over a very hot fire. The sag is completely reversible, and the grill can be returned to its normal shape after it cools down. If your intention is to use the grill with a load greater than 2 pounds over a very hot fire, it is recommended that you get a "Mega Grill". The Mega Grill is a full size Zia Grill that is supported along the sides with full length stainless steel Stix. These connect to the grill by inserting them into pre-placed titanium split rings, and the Stix can be removed if not needed. The stainless steel Stix are not much affected by intense heat, so the grill won't sag. The stainless steel Stix increase the total weight to 2.6 ounces, still a very light weight backpacking grill that is quite strong. Mega Grills are all about 11 x 4 inches. The symmetry might not be perfect, but every grill will function fine in the field.

Grills are shipped in a heavy duty ziplock bag, which makes for easy storage in your pack. You can clean it by hand, in the dishwasher at home, or in the backcountry by simply burning off any food dregs in the fire.

PLEASE NOTE: Gary is no longer able to offer the Mini Grills for sale. Also, he can no longer offer to ship his products outside the 50 U.S. states, due to the increased postal costs. If you would like to inquire about his Regular and Mega grills, you can
