The Pocket Grill -- as its name implies -- is a small, portable barbecue grill that, when folded and secured, will fit snugly into your pocket.
After unfolding the rotisserie, the Pocket Grill measures 2 feet in length, 1 foot in width and can support up to 10 pounds of meat. The versatility of the barbecue, however, is ultimately its strongest selling point. You can attach legs to the grill and raise it above a campfire or simply place the metal grates atop a local park's BBQ pit. So whether you're an avid camper or simply love the taste of freshly seared beef, the Pocket Grill fulfills the needs of most cooks.
As with all Kickstarter programs, the Pocket Grill is part product and part DIY project, meaning that you'll have to conquer its learning curve. But then again, since it's priced at only $40, I wouldn't mind getting my hands greasy.
