Next-Gen Portable Grill Cooks Like a Pro and Packs Down Like a Briefcase

Heading into the great outdoors no longer means settling for basic meals — thanks to the world’s first foldable top-heating grill, you can now enjoy gourmet cooking on the go. Meet the StoviGo, a compact grill that folds down to the size of a briefcase, making it a game-changer for campers and outdoor cooks alike.

Smoke-Free Cooking with Plenty of Space

Developed over two years, the StoviGo is a rugged, gas-powered outdoor oven designed for serious performance. It features an infrared top-heating panel that evenly cooks food from above while also turning the grill’s top surface into a hotplate — ideal for warming sides or searing extras. We got hands-on experience with the unit, and it’s as capable as it is convenient.

Thanks to the infrared heating system, the StoviGo can handle ambitious campsite meals — think full roasts or large pizzas — without the smoke you’d expect from traditional grills. An adjustable tray offers five rack positions inside a roomy 11 x 11 x 8-inch (28 x 28 x 20 cm) oven cavity, spacious enough for a whole chicken or a batch of veggies.

High Temperatures and Dual Cooking Functionality

Inside, the oven reaches up to 900 °F (482 °C), while the upper hotplate climbs to around 400 °F (204 °C). Just be cautious with the exterior heat, especially if there are kids around.

Crafted from durable stainless steel, the StoviGo is designed for easy assembly, disassembly, and cleanup. It’s nearly smoke-free thanks to a clever design that prevents liquids from dripping onto the heat source and burns off leftover gases during cooking, making the whole process cleaner and more efficient.

Although tailored for campers, this compact grill is equally suited for balconies, backyards, or even indoor use with proper ventilation. A single gas canister can fuel it for roughly four hours at medium heat — more than enough for a weekend’s worth of cooking. That’s enough to grill nearly 50 10-ounce (280-gram) steaks using a 16-ounce (450-gram) propane canister, with butane as a compatible alternative.

Igniting the grill is easy, and it heats up in just two minutes. Adjustable settings for low, medium, and high temperatures provide full control over your cooking.

Lightweight, Compact, and Road-Trip Friendly

Weighing in at 15.87 pounds (7.2 kg) without fuel, it’s not exactly a backpacking companion, but it fits nicely in the car with the rest of your gear.

Currently featured on Kickstarter, the StoviGo is available for preorder at US$299, a steep discount from the expected retail price of $599. Each unit comes with a convenient carrying case and a meat thermometer as part of the campaign’s exclusive offer.

With its funding goal already met, the team plans to begin shipping in October. While some may be cautious about crowdfunding campaigns, the company behind the StoviGo — REVO — has a solid track record in grill design and has spent years perfecting this model.
