GoSun Pyro Wood-Fired Portable Grill Review (2026)

Name: GoSun Pyro Wood-Fired Portable Grill
Brand: GoSun
Price: 200.00 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 8.4 (1 reviews)

The Pyro takes a different approach than every other grill here: a small forced-air combustion chamber that burns twigs, small sticks, or pellets efficiently enough to reach cooking temperature fast without needing propane or bagged charcoal at all. At 14 lbs it's light enough to actually carry into the backcountry, not just car camp with, and running on found wood means you're not dependent on fuel supply chains. The cooking area is modest and it demands more active fire-tending than a set-and-forget gas grill, but for backcountry car-adjacent camping where fuel-free cooking has real appeal, it's a genuinely different category of grill.

What Sets It Apart

At 14 lbs it's light enough to actually carry into the backcountry, not just car camp with, and running on found wood means you're not dependent on fuel supply chains. The cooking area is modest and it demands more active fire-tending than a set-and-forget gas grill, but for backcountry car-adjacent camping where fuel-free cooking has real appeal, it's a genuinely different category of grill.

14 lbs, $200 — small enough to backpack in, hot enough to boil water in 5 minutes

Common Questions

Does the GoSun Pyro require propane or charcoal?

No — it's designed to burn small pieces of wood, twigs, or wood pellets using a forced-air combustion system, eliminating the need to carry propane canisters or bagged charcoal.

Is the Pyro good for backpacking, not just car camping?

At 14 lbs it's lighter than most grills here and doesn't require carrying fuel, making it more backpacking-adaptable than propane or charcoal grills, though it's still heavier than typical backpacking stoves.

How does forced-air combustion help with wood fires?

A small fan forces air into the combustion chamber, helping wood and twigs burn hotter and more completely than an open fire, reaching cooking temperatures faster and with less smoke than a basic campfire.
