The crackle of a camp fire and the smell of mountain pies, smores, burgers and hot dogs on the open flame is a can't miss moment of camping.

The Pocket Grill, Ben Ashpole and Jay Olman's Kickstarter project, boasts a lighter and compact way to cook over a campfire. The stainless steel grill folds to a small size and can fit in the pocket of a backpack. Its compact size is partially due to the patent pending hinges on the legs that fold without wasting space.

A two by one foot cooking surface holds up to ten pounds of food when the Camp Grill is assembled. Ashpole and Olman boast the set-up time is under a minute. After a camping trip, toss the grill in your dishwasher to clean and sterile it. It also comes with a carrying pouch and cookbook.

The Pocket Grill is on Kickstarter through September 9, 2011. The duo spent three years designing it, and they are looking to raise $40,000 to fund the venture. Several pledge levels are available ranging from one to $150 with the highest level scoring you a pre-production Pocket Grill.
