I bought two of the Voyageur grills from the Purcell Trench Company prior to my Quetico trip this summer. This was my only "big" gear purchase for the trip and I highly recommend these grills to anyone who wants/needs to purchase a grill.

Purcell Trench Company

In the past, I have used old hibachi/BBQ grills, cheap to medium priced backcountry/camping grills, wire shelvings from old fridges and stoves, etc., you name it, but there is no comparison and I am 100% sure the Purcell grills will be the only grills I will ever use again. They are extremely lightweight, come with a nice cover, clean well enough for a grill used over a wood campfire and cool to the touch very, very quickly. They are so nice that I am may just buy a couple more and stash them away to give to my sons as gifts several years from now just in case the company goes out of business.

Yep they are worth every penny to me. Lightweight and strong. Glad Maverick talked me into buying one.

I also agree with you both on the Purcell. It has been perfect in the Adirondacks.

Looks like a cool product, I loved reading the owner's notes. Order early, he may be in the bush the week before your trip!

An old thread, but thought I'd add my endorsement.

My brother and I went to Quetico this year and decided to bring a light grill so that we might have our traditional steak dinner on night one. I chatted with Don over email and he helped me pick out the perfect grill for my needs. I got the Streamside Travelers Grill and couldn't be happier!

The grill is incredibly well-made, extremely light, very durable, and was so easy to slip into the Duluth pack. I had no trouble cleaning it and it performed beautifully.

Yes, it's expensive. $75 is a good chunk of change for a grill grate. But it comes with a personal touch and looks to last a long time - think heirloom quality. Get the light weight carry bag - it's a nice touch.

Right on. Got one this spring and it was a key piece of kit.

I purchased a Purcell “Travelers model” grill this year and broke it in on McAree lake in the Q last June. Used it to make 8 venison brats and the small grill worked fine. Purcell is all about quality, and I’m proud to own this American made product. It weighs nothing and takes no room.

I bought my second because I wanted to try the Streamside model to cook fish on.
It is just as awesome as the first one I bought.
Good kit
