Lidl Tripod Camping Grill

[rik_uk3]

On offer at Lidl for the next two days. This is one for the car or canoe unless you leave some parts at home, can't go wrong for £19.99

Just put it together, its over 5' tall, remember, Luke is over 6'

Very well made, leg sections are in four pieces so you could leave off a section of each for lighter camping (and leave the grill and fire pit).

I'm very happy with it, and even if you don't use it camping, it makes a great garden BBQ

Almost bought one today but changed my mind at the last minute, its just a bit too heavy for me especially as I already have an outdoor wood burner. If I didn't already have the burner I would definately have bought one though!

What are you about to cook there!!!!!

I let the grandson off with a stern warning this time

I think I will replace the chain with flexible wire, any suggestions?

I bought one of these today to use under a group tarp/ parachute.
Solid bit of kit, isn't it ?

cheers,

I got one last week and there brilliant value for money,if you want to travel with it you can just take the top section and chain,and cut some hazel poles instead of the metal poles.to hang your billy or pot.

It is a solid bit of kit, and you can take some or all of it camping.

One bad thing is the three chain supports, this can mean you have to juggle pots and pans to maintain an even balance on the grill. When I replace the chains with wire, I'll use four instead of three

I was going to use my Wayland chain and just hang the pot directly from that.
Hadn't thought about the grill for anything but toast or kebabs tbh
Wire, you suggest ?

cheers,
Toddy

Once you get the big grill stable, there is room for three or four pots When I fired it up on charcoal last week, I had an 8 pint pot, three pint coffee perc, and a 10" frying pan on the go with room to spare.

I need some thin but strong, flexible braided cable, any ideas?

 

[ANDYRAF]

Bike brake cable or bowden cable from lawn mower throttle.

They sell braided wire in various widths at B&Q by the metre. I bought some a while ago to repair an up and over garage door. Also the U bolt connectors too, but I prefer to use the tubular electrical connectors you crimp up. Cheaper too.

Nice one Neil, any chance of a picture of the tubular connectors mate?

This type: http://www.maplin.co.uk/images/300/jh79.jpg

It's basically an aluminium(?) tube surrounded by an insulative sleeve. Any tube would do I suppose. I used them to make a wire bale for a billy. B&Q have them as well.

 

[rik_uk3]

It really does need that forth line, I am now looking for the wire or maybe some lighter chain

 

[rik_uk3]

Cooked this, its a big pan, 13 or 14 inch but almost lost it due to poor balance on the three support lines. Hi ho, find the wire or more chain

Put ours to the test yesterday, Barbied two muntjac shoulders nice and slowly,It took about 2 and 1/2 hours kept basting with olive oil and honey,Just couldn't fault the end result.

Yours truly doing as told the basting.

Looks really great Bernie, yum yum

Those tripods have to be the best £20 I've spent in a long time

Its an adaptable bit of kit, you can just take the fire bowl (great on a BBQ friendly camp site), leave one or two leg sections behind to give a lighter and smaller tripod, or as another member suggested, just take the top pole connector and cut some wood to fit (good idea).
