FirePit Cookbook: Skewers 3 Ways

Skewers are easy to grill, serve, and eat. And the best part is there are no plates or cutlery to clean up afterwards. Whether you're hitting the backcountry or grilling out in your backyard, these three skewers pair perfectly with the BioLite FirePit (or any of our other grills).
