Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I think Bob Fleming's mate reviewed this a few years back and I'd have to agree.

I think that it packs away cleanly, and won't rust, will count for a lot….but at 8lbs (over 3kgs) it ain't exactly lightweight, iimmc.
Cool toy though
How can we get hold of some of that thick fire and heat resistant fabric?

I wonder if a fire blanket would work the same way ?. Price wise these would look excellent in the boot of a range rover sport provided it wasn't used of course

Big benefit is that really keeps the heat up, raised away from the ground. Packs away neatly.
I'm not sure that the temp ratings are high enough though.

It's overkill for a BBQ but what about the heated tent brigade? They might be interested in a lighter alternative to the traditional all metal stove. Reallybigmonkey1 over on YouTube did some experiments along these lines with a commercial fire blanket back in 2013 and his early efforts may be interest to some folk here.

It looks oklithril, but fatigue of the material hasn't really been tested over lots of uses, and i'd want a bit more reassurance before funding. And for there isn't a solution there already, there are lots of examples for a lot less than 100 quid.

Lol that's what I meant. Four sides of a stove box and the flue pipe could be made of fire/heat resistant material and just use metal where tou have to such as the stove top/hotplate and the front door.
That made me chuckle.mrcharly said:
That was my first thought as well

I agree, I've got several cheaper small BBQs that have lived in the van car or been handy when only cooking small amounts, most of them only survived one or two season so I tend to make them or find other alternatives now. Looking at building a permanent BBQ at home as we have lots of them throughout the year, it was the packability that appealed more than anything.
These are better, fold up flat and are a much better price, had mine for a couple of years, great bit of kit kit

yeah, geek in me thinks it's cool, it's funny though taking that next to a perfectly good fire...
Like some of the others I'm dubious as to long term durability.
A mate and I both have Cobb's and though maybe not as packable they're hugely fuel efficient and are excellent ovens.
Not cheap either though as I think they set you back about £120, they are very durable though and the externals remain cool to touch.

I've done a roast on my standard one (veg included) when we had a power cut 20 mins into cooking...There is an XL Cobb in an oval shape now. Big enough for a roast dinner
