Righty,

Here’s the situation; me and a mate of mine go camping, and while sat having a (disposable) BBQ and a beer, we both think that some sort of uber-fire-bbq machine/tray/thing would be an excellent idea, also agreeing that the welding kit i’ve just acquired would also be ‘just the ticket’ to make something with.

My suggestion was to cut a washing machine drum approx 2/3 down so we have a solid base with a perforated edge, weld either some legs on it, or something to attach legs to – with some grill bit on the top.

And that seems a little over-engineered?

Any suggestions/help/photo’s/idea’s would be very much appreciated 😉

thanks in advance,
Jonathan

The likes of Weber already do portable BBQs. We have the Smokey Joe – too big for a cycling trip (unless you have a cargo bike!), but the Go-Anywhere looks pretty good. Not sure if it solves your camping stove/BBQ in one issue, though.

light the bbq
bbq food
eat food
drink, be happy
carefully – raise up bbq somehow and puncture bottom
remove grill
add firewood
