am i mistaken or is it just a base plate with the 2 sides and bag etc, or do you get a 2nd plate for the top so you could place a billy can on it?

Col

I wondered that as well Col, I think it's just the base plate bud

I think Bobs intentions are to use a pot big enough to span the whole gap.

I'm sure he could get some top plates knocked up though if there enough demand.

It crossed my mind too, I think I'll just use some tent pegs or similar through the top holes to hold the pot.

good idea Andy, but i can see a "2010 HIVE SPECIAL EDITION - ONLY 20 EVER MADE - TITANIUM PLATE, GOLD PLATED DOOR, GOLD LEAF ENGRAVED HOLDER BAG, WITH SIGNED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY ON THE HORIZON.

You know its only a matter of time, this guy seems to like to play with his invensions and upgrade them, which is great cause its such a good simple product in the first place....

And if bob wants to private message me with a free trial of the above listed hive mark 2 then go ahead.....lol

No there isn't a top plate with it guys as I wanted to keep the cost realistic.

I was quoted for some grills or plates, but the price just kept going up beyond what I wanted an upgrade to be. In the video (when i do it) you will see, as mentioned above, that pegs will do the job to support most smaller pans.

That said, I am waiting for a shipment of small grills on legs from the US, which will be ideal to work with it, and the retail price is much more acceptable.

We are all being cost conscious currently and I didn't want to take the mick making it more expensive than it needed to be.

Hope that answers the thoughts.

Yes please. I have only had my honey for a couple of months but I have not used any of my other stoves since I got it. Love the idea of making it a bit bigger for a BBQ, as I tried it in the standard one and there were not quite enough coals in it to do what I wanted.

Please add me to the list Sandbag. I'm in unless the postage is very high. I wonder if the grill from one of those disposable BBQs could be cut, using the new base-plate as a template, to fit on the top?

I don't see the lack of a top plate as a problem - I find (on the standard size HS) that tent pegs are actually better than the top plate as it is easier to add more fuel through the top than through the door (but if someone wants to tell be I have been doing it all wrong I wll be glad to learn)

??will we need to get some new supersized tent pegs (even if we do I'd still like to have the upgrade kit please)
