Need help finding a good stove/ bbq

[Rachel4]

I'm looking for a good stove, bbq or something like that! I need it to cook for 2- 3 people and i would like it to be good for usage as a campfire, but one that's allowed in traditional campsites. Not sure if one like that exists, but any suggestions will be greatfully recieved, thanks

I've seen folk use these as a firebox once they've finished cooking a meal ...

A lot of DIY and SUpermarkets sell a cast iron belly stove type BBQ. They are cheap about £18 IIRC. A wide cooking surface and the cast iron takess the heat well and even when it goes out it gives off a lot of warmth for some time. We used one for late summer camps and like Welsh coastal weather sometimes gets when it got cold we went into a communal, large frame tent and took it in. It kept it snug even when it actualy got cold and wet outside.

Take a look at ARgos as I think they sold them

I've got the sort of thing Paul B is talking about, got it from Morrisons for less than a tenner, been using it for 6 or 7 years now, far and away my favourite barby.

A mate I used to know about 15 years ago got one and we used it on group camps. I noticed it on a photo of his recently online and it appears to be going strong. I mean it is solid cast iron parts. IIRC it comes in two parts with a solid grill surface to it not one of those flimsy shiny wire racks on most BBQs. Solid Victorian technology last for years. Wooden handles to allow you to move it even when lit and too hot to touch apart from the handles. Cooks well too.

Same as Shewie. We have two of these for family use, or we just take the one on lighter trips. They work really well and will even fit into a pack if you are sharing a load. Highly recommended. Will hold two or three good sized logs on top of your kindling quite easily

I have an Ozpig. It's superb and we have been able to use it on all the campsites we visit.

We have made many friends sat around it in those campsites and cooking on it is a joy.

Jedidiah came out, saw it and sent me off with cash to get him one. Then I started with the accessories - dutch oven, skillets....

Once you get the heat going it is lovely to sit around, top open as a fire, closed and humming with heat. Can't recommend it enough

x2 on the Ozpig. Superb fun, when used with a griddle pan it's better than a BBQ as the food doesn't get so scorched. Often used as a chimnea when the cooking is done. We frequently have to pack it up as we get invited to friend's houses as long as the Ozpig comes with us!
