Ikea Fire Basket?

[The_Taffinch]

Hi All,

I am planning a jaunt down to Ikea at the weekend to pick up a couple of their cutlery/utensil holders for use as a hobo stove, plus one of their 4.5 tog £3 duvets for use in my Czech Army Bedroll thingy and I was checking out the website when I stumbled upon...

Has anyone seen or used one of these? Looking at the zoomed photo it seems to bolt together so it could pack down flat for carrying in a pack. Looks intriguing.

Cheers,
Matt.

Forgive a little digression but those quilts look interesting. Anyone used one?

They do a 12 tog one for a fiver, but I was thinking that if I got the thinner £3 version I could slide it between the blanket and the liner in the Czech bedroll for extra warmth without it bulking up what is already a huge package too much.

Its 7.3 Kg in weight. The fire basket, not the Duvet

Wow...didn't see that. I guess I'll give it a miss then or I you could buy one of these:

I bought a Summit Collapsible BBQ from my local general store place. It weighs in at 1.46kg, packed in its bag its 30x20x4cm. Not had a chance to try it out yet but looks like it will be perfect little fireplace.

It's not bad (looks exactly like the one I got from Cotswold Camping). The bottom plate warped a bit on it's first use but was easily bent back into shape. The leg setup is a bit counterintuitive so worth a quick set up in advance. Not bad for a cheap and cheerful BBQ, certainly a lot better than the single use, pre fuelled things you get from petrol stations.
