Andy's reply about the bars bending with a pan of water put me off.

Yup Phil, I had been eyeing them up for ages and finally cracked a few months ago.
It is a little heavier than I imagined, which I suppose in a way is no bad thing, it's easy to put together, and is very compact. Personally I am very pleased with it.
The firebowl was a step too far though....I considered it completely unecessary.

.........having looked at the link to the other thread, I haven't had the same experience as Bisamratte; mine has coped with pans of water no problems, and I don't find it particularly fiddly to construct. Ok it takes a couple of minutes, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make considering a) the hassle of construction is a lot less than that of carrying a regular grill, and b) when I am bushcrafting is about the only time I am not in a rush!!

Am I the only one who find that it looks like that piece of cookware you use to steam veggies ? :confused:

Yes thats the fire bowl thing. It looks exactly like a steamer.
Was just thinking I've saved myself £6.99!!!
