Jim,
If you want a firebox at about half the price of a Liard, see this on SoTP:

Thanks Michael, I did come across the Yukon, it certainly looks like it does a similar job. I did notice however that it doesn't have a grill top as such. I like my bacon and lorne sausage up at the 'coe after a night at the Clachaig!
I usually have an open fire with a mesh steel plate with folding legs all under my tarp which is fine but I have just bought a campfire tent from Greenoutdoor and was looking to "control" my fire under the canopy (expensive bit of kit to go up in a puff of smoke!)

I bought a piece of 1" stainless steel mesh from a local metal supplier for a couple of quid for mine.
Cheers, Michael.
Do they still have Fraoch on draught in the Clachaig? It's been a couple of years since I've been there.

I will find out at the weekend, going up to try out this new tent, last time I was there they had a power cut and I tried a sister ale to Fraoch called Alba. It was bottled beer but packed a mighty punch!
I didn't think about making a mesh - good idea, i have some in the garage. Need to give this some more thought.
I would like to know if the reports of increased efficiency and using less wood for cooking compared to an open fire are true.

I have a liard firebox (smaller one I think), a great bit of kit if a little on the expensive side. I have used it a lot and it stays pretty much warp free (some cunning cuts in the metal allow it to expand without over warping). Very economical on fuel and I made an oven adaption by raising the inner firebox (four metal legs) and cooking in the gap underneath with a covering over the front, also cut one of those pizza plates to fit which makes good pizza etc and you can still cook on top at the same time.
