We're fighting the grilling season
Who says it's over after summer? We're just getting started. With the SKOTTI, you can grill whenever and wherever you want – even when the air is crisp and the wind gets colder. Because right now, nature has so much to offer: pumpkins, mushrooms, or even a tender piece of game. Plus, the scent of smoke, a bit of campfire romance, and the first mulled wine of the season. Sounds good? We think so too.
Grilling in wind & rain – stay relaxed
Autumn weather is fickle. A sudden shower or strong wind is part of it, but we're not made of sugar. With a few simple tricks, you can still grill comfortably outdoors:
-
Set up wind-protected: Set up your camping grill so that it is not directly in a draft. A wall, hedge, or even your camper can help.
-
Use lid & accessories: With the SKOTTI CAP, the heat stays on your food even in windy conditions.
-
Protection from rain: If it's pouring, a tarp, the camper's awning, or a thick canopy of leaves can help.
Important: Keep a safe distance from the grill, otherwise it becomes a fire hazard. -
Right clothing: Hat, rain jacket, sturdy shoes, and the barbecue evening can begin.
Tip: Many underestimate the cold when grilling. Plan enough warm drinks so that you stay warm not only at the grill but also from the inside. With the SKOTTI Booster and the large BOKS, which you can also use as a pot, you can, for example, heat mulled wine while grilling on the SKOTTI. This way, everyone stays well taken care of.
From grill to warming fire pit
As soon as the food is ready, the second part of the evening begins: making a fire. The SKOTTI can be converted into a fire pit in a few simple steps: remove the grill grate or plancha, take out the burner tube and radiant plate, fill some sand or earth into the drip tray, add wood – done. You now have a warm and, above all, safe campfire for that special autumnal atmosphere and your marshmallows.
And it's not just cozy: a fire extends the evening, provides light, warmth, and creates the perfect backdrop for a cozy barbecue evening that will be remembered.

Frequently asked questions about the topic
What is special about the SKOTTI Grill?
The SKOTTI is the world's first plug-in gas grill: ultra-light, set up in one minute without tools, and so mobile that you can take it anywhere – whether in a backpack or on a road trip. It delivers the full heat of a freestanding grill, cools down quickly after grilling, and stores compactly. This makes SKOTTI the grill for everyone who wants freedom and flexibility when outdoors.
Which accessories are particularly practical in autumn?
In addition to the SKOTTI CAP, which keeps the heat on the food, the SKOTTI BOKS is also worthwhile in autumn – perfect for stews, braised dishes, or mulled wine. A cutting board like the PLANK makes outdoor cooking even easier.
Is it safe to make a campfire with the SKOTTI?
Yes – when the SKOTTI is converted into a fire pit, the fire is significantly safer than an open ground fire. The embers lie in a stainless steel tray and have no direct contact with the ground. It is important to fill some sand or earth into the tray to absorb the heat. This minimizes burn marks and ground damage. Nevertheless, always remember: never leave a fire unattended, be aware of flying sparks, and have extinguishing agents ready (e.g., water or sand). Safety is always your responsibility.
Where is a campfire actually allowed?
This largely depends on the location. In your own garden, a fire pit with a diameter of less than 1 m is allowed in most federal states, as long as neighbors are not significantly disturbed by smoke or flying sparks. An open campfire directly on the ground, however, usually requires a permit. In forests, nature reserves, and public parks, open fires are generally forbidden – exceptions are only made at officially designated fire pits, sometimes with a permit. Violations can result in high fines. Therefore, always check local regulations, keep sufficient distance from buildings, bushes, or trees, and only use dry, untreated wood. In principle, a campfire is only allowed at designated fire pits or places that are approved for it.
