How to Build the Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Setup with EvergreenBGF

How to Build the Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Setup with EvergreenBGF

If you’re someone who lives for time outside—whether that’s calling in deer, firing up a steak over a portable pit, or just sipping a cold drink on the patio—you already know this truth:

Details matter.

And one of the most overlooked but essential outdoor details? Your propane setup.

Enter The Claw – Adjustable Propane Tank Mount. This sleek, secure, and rugged tool keeps your propane tank locked in place—no tipping, no sliding, no nonsense. But the magic of The Claw isn’t just what it does on its own—it’s how it amplifies everything else you love outdoors.

In this blog, we’ll show you how The Claw supports and elevates two of the most loved EvergreenBGF experiences:

  • Cooking and gathering with the Portable Fire Pit
  • Creating a successful wildlife viewing and feeder setup

Let’s connect the dots between great gear, practical use, and the freedom to enjoy the outdoors your way.

 

Why The Claw Deserves a Spot in Every Setup

Before we connect the ecosystem, let’s quickly revisit why The Claw has become a must-have for tailgaters, campers, ranchers, and backyard grillers alike.

From our feature breakdown in “Meet The Claw: The Propane Tank Mount You Didn’t Know You Needed”, here’s what makes it special:

  • Adjustable, secure clamp system holds standard propane tanks upright
  • Mounts easily to trailers, patios, flatbeds, UTVs, or outdoor kitchens
  • Protects valves and hoses from strain or tip-over hazards
  • Improves safety for open-flame setups
  • Looks sharp and functions like a pro-grade anchor

The Claw isn’t flashy—it’s functional. And that’s what makes it so universally useful.

 

How It Powers Your Portable Fire Pit Setup

Now let’s talk flames, food, and fire pit freedom.

EvergreenBGF’s Portable Fire Pit with Deluxe Grill/Griddle Attachment is one of our most versatile and loved products—and for good reason. It folds flat, cooks anything, and creates heat and ambiance anywhere you set it.

But when you're setting up in the yard, at the lease, or on a trailhead pullout, your propane tank needs to be:

  • Close enough to run a clean hose
  • Stable enough not to wobble or tip
  • Accessible for adjustments or changes

That’s where The Claw steps in.

Mount it once to your outdoor cook platform, deck, or flat trailer surface—and suddenly you’ve got a safe, reliable propane source right where you need it. No rolling tanks. No bungee cords. No guessing.

How It Supports Wildlife Watching Setups

You might not associate a propane tank mount with deer feeders and binoculars—but here’s where it gets good.

If you’re building a semi-permanent wildlife viewing station—whether it's at your hunting lease, on private land, or even in a larger backyard environment—comfort and reliability matter.

In Wildlife Watching 101: Set Up the Perfect Feeder Spot, we laid out how to create a feeder zone that attracts deer and supports game patterns. But let’s say you’re spending time there to watch activity, run trail cams, or just unwind.

The Claw becomes essential in three ways:

  • Powers propane heaters near blinds or benches for early morning comfort
  • Anchors propane-fueled camp stoves or grills if you’re making coffee or lunch nearby
  • Keeps tanks safe and out of the way when set up near expensive optics or electronics

You’re not scrambling with bungees. You’re not chasing your tank when the wind gusts. And you’re not worried about safety while your eyes are glued to a scope.

It’s one of those small pieces that keeps the entire operation running smoother—so you can focus on watching, logging, or even taking that perfect shot.

 

3 Ways to Use The Claw Across All Your Outdoor Zones

Whether you’re flipping burgers, glassing whitetails, or just enjoying quiet time under the stars, here’s how The Claw adds value:

1. At Basecamp or the Backyard

  • Mount it once to your deck, grilling table, or camp box
  • Keep your propane stable year-round
  • Works with Evergreen fire pits, griddles, and stoves
