Grilliput and firebowl

[jacko1066]

Hi, I have never asked anything like this before on here but thought I may as well ask before I buy a brand new one.

Does anyone have a grilliput grill and firebowl they wanna sell?

Not too worried about condition as long as its still well usable.

Cheers

I threw my Grilliput in the bin, it warped the very first time i used it, expensive piece, of well, junk imho, the firebowl i use fairly often, though in hindsight, i think you can get a folding collander from places like Ikea for less money and they are basically the same thing

Folding vegetable steamer, Wilkinsons, about £2. The Grilliput is crap Jacko, save your money mate.

My Grilliput has been fine, got it for less than half price. Used it about 15 times now. A little warping but nothing major. Your mileage may vary.

Had mine a while now and still use it. Heavy, slightly warped but still going strong.

Do you actually cook on it lol

As Rik says the collasable steamer from Wilkos is approx £3. I bought one a month or so ago and have used it twice. It does the job of a fire bowl perfectly well. I'm trying to modify mine at the moment so I can add some detachable legs to improve stability and get it up off the ground to prevent fire scars. I will post pics on here once I get around to doing it.

No - I play it like a banjo.

It's done chicken drumsticks, sausages, burgers, kebabs - all the general BBQ fare with no problems.

I didnt actully realise that the grill and fire bowl were seperate items until after I started this thread!!! Im not tight but WOW that is one expensive bbq lol!!!

It handles food just fine. You don't like it, you made your point - no need to keep making it.

Yeah I have been looking at these for a while, they seem to get very good reviews indeed! But like you say £45 quid posted seems to a bit pricey!! although if it lasts its a pretty sound investment!!
Are you happy with yours?

Looks like a pretty cheap alternative but Im not sure how it folds down? could it be used as a portable fre box?

Cheers for the heads up!! I have sent her a pm to see if she has any available, unfortunately I dint have any of what she wants swap wise so I have asked if she will accept cold hard cash lol.
As I have no experience at all, do you think would be able to use 1 of them bbq as a fire box?
I dont think there is alot of difference between charcoal and wood other than the wood flames for a alot longer I guess.
