Charcoal Companion S’Mores on the Grill Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Charcoal Companion S’Mores on the Grill Kit?
The **Charcoal Companion S’Mores on the Grill Kit** gives you a way to recreate the classic campfire dessert—graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows—**on your gas or charcoal grill**. It includes a foldable rack and four double-ended skewers for toasting marshmallows and assembling s’mores right over the grill.
What are the components included in the kit?
• A **folding rack** that holds graham crackers and chocolate above the heat source, letting you melt the chocolate gently while grilling marshmallows.
• **Four double skewers** for roasting marshmallows (and optionally other treats) evenly without having to find sticks.
How do I use it properly on the grill?
1. Preheat your grill to medium or indirect heat (so marshmallows don’t blow up or burn instantly).
2. Open and place the folding rack on the grill grate (or over heat) so the top surface is above flame or coals.
3. Arrange graham crackers and chocolate squares on the rack surface so the heat softens the chocolate from below.
4. Use the skewers to roast marshmallows over the flame or just above it, rotating for even coloring.
5. When the marshmallows are toasted, press them (with the rack surface) between the graham + chocolate on the rack to make s’mores.
6. Use care—don’t leave marshmallows unattended, and remove the rack when done to prevent overheating the chocolate.
How should I clean and care for the kit?
• After use, allow the rack and skewers to cool before handling.
• Wash with warm, soapy water — avoid harsh abrasives that might damage finishes.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent rust (especially on joints or folding parts).
• Store the skewers and rack folded or nested to minimize space and avoid bending.
• If residue is sticky (from melted chocolate or marshmallow), soaking briefly helps loosen it before scrubbing.
What are the advantages and potential drawbacks?
Advantages:
• Lets you enjoy s’mores year-round using your grill, not just over a campfire
• The rack melts chocolate while you toast marshmallows, creating a convenient all-in-one station
• Folding rack and skewers make storage and portability easier
• Double skewers reduce the need to hunt for long sticks
Limitations / things to watch:
• If heat is too direct, marshmallows may burn before chocolate fully softens
• The rack and skewers may get hot — use gloves or heat protection when handling
• The foldable joints or connections may wear over time if not cleaned and dried properly
• Size of the rack limits how many s’mores you can make simultaneously
