View Full Version : Iron Camp Grills
I’m hoping one of you will be able to point me in the right direction, I’m after an iron camp grill but am not having any luck sourcing one. What I'm basically after is an oblong steel frame, with a wire mesh top and fold out metal legs. Cabela’s in the States stock them for a mere $19.99, but I can't find anyone in the UK that stocks them. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Is this what you mean?

Cabelas ship to the UK no problem.
How big a grill are you wanting?
Pagon wolf has one that you could grill a pig on (or a hell of a lot of sosmix)

Right, a piece of expanded steel mesh, a bit of light angle iron, and a bit of work...
Looks easy, but then again I've never tried TiG or MiG welding...
I'd be tempted to make a triangular grill, and rely on finding stones to prop up the corners. And make a nut and bolt construction, so as to avoid welding.
Hackwsaw, spanner, screwdriver. No other tools necessary.

Thanks for posting the link to Cabela! I've been looking at the smoking and jerky-making kit. Excellent!

The Cabela’s grill as per the link is the thing I’m after. As for making it, I don’t have either the skill or the tools unfortunately.
Thanks RB I was aware that Cabela’s shipped to the UK, but I’m a bit concerned that I’d end up paying considerably more in shipping/taxes than the worth of the goods.
I’ll have to investigate what my local blacksmith would charge to make one, however, It’ll no doubt be far more than the Sterling equivalent of $19.99.

I used to buy a lot from Cabelas and i never got charged duty.
It seems very hit and miss with C ,one company i buy from get's hit every time but never from Cabela's ???
I guess it's the chance you take but if you only order the grill and send it surface (slow boat) it should come through fine.
Hi Ranger.
This may not fit the bill but it is great bit of kit
http://www.finnovations.org/ and have a look at the The Finbar Fire Grate and the Fire Pan.
Cheers

Nice link Jack, it wouldn't take very long to knock one of those up :)

If you are only ordering the grill, at $19.99, you will NOT get hit for duty as that comes in under the limit set by UK customs.
However I would imagine that the shipping is going to be a bit steep.
3 pieces of rebar,3/8-1/2 " thick,12" long. drill hole 1/2" or so from one end. thread a piece of gas welding rod through them. Shape welding rod into an oval to allow rebar to spread slightly. Then weld loop closed. This rack lays acorss rocks, logs or trench fire places,is adjustable for width within the confines of the oval it is attached to.
something like this....... 0= (add a third steel rod.)
0< (picture a third rod in the center of the "v")
Have had stuff from cabelas in the past, I used the very cheap surface shipping. Took a while but was $15 (£8 at the time). Heres a bit from the QA section, this covers shipping to UK
Surface shipping and handling is 20% of the total order amount or a minimum of $15.00.
Air delivery is 40% of the total order amount or a minimum of $35.00.
Chris - do you happen to know what the customs limit is out of interest?
Thanks

I got an order from Cabela's yesterday worth $133.89 and had to pay £16.00 Import VAT. UPS didn’t charge VAT on the shipping fee.
