Made this today.

[tree beard]

Popped into work today and knocked this up, not dissimilar from the Ray Mears folding grill
Just needs a splash of BBQ paint round the edges to fend off the ferrous oxide.
Can't wait to try it.
Might also make a fire tray that will sit on the leg stays to prevent fire scars.
Whadda ya think?

Very nice indeed. A real marketing opportunity?

I wouldn't mind doing a few for people on here but I would have to check it would be ok to use the equipment at work with my boss.

May I ask what skills were used in making this? I've been thinking long and hard about the best kind of open fire grill and I must admit that I don't have the skills or knowledge to know where to start.

Would you be able to talk us through the process? It would be very much appreciated.

Slick idea almost looks like ya could use the shiny side as a griddle no?

 

[tree beard]

Yes, you can use it as a hot plate/griddle and the grille area is used for putting a billy/canteen on or as a BBQ.

Some pics of one simular in use here

Perhaps more importantly; You'd also have to become a "maker" on here too, as it's against the rules to sell anything you have made, to members.

That said, it's only £30 to join as a maker and I reckon you'd get that back with your first sale, depending on what you charge obviously.

It looks to be pretty well done if I may say so and assuming you do decide to become a maker and knock a few out, I'd be interested in one, depending on cost of course.

sincere best wishes

I'd have no problem with becoming a "maker" and paying the £30.

It took me around 4 hours to do and I don't get much spare time so MIGHT be able to do 1 a week, (as I say, all depending on a nod from my boss).

Thanks to everyone who likes it, I guess it could be full grille or full hot plate, different sizes or to your design.
