portable grill stand

[nooky]

I found this grill stand and thought I would pass it on it could be useful. I have not tried one myself but it looks quite good and packs up small.

Cool!!!

Wish people would not post things like this it is a terrible strain on the wallet

Great bit of kit, but like mentioned, another strain on the wallet.

Will fit great in the cubby box.

Hi Nooky.
I too got the IWOOT catalogue in the post the other day and was tempted by this grill (amongst ather gadgets!). As for the strain on the wallet, as a wise man once said:-
The one who dies with the most toys wins!!!

 

[BorderReiver]

What a great idea.

 

[scanker]

Looks great, but is a bit expensive.
There's a website: http://www.grilliput.com/01en_grilliput_start.php
I wonder how hard it would be to make one.....

 

[wingstoo]

Hi Folks

My Guess is that it would be quite easy to make, but the tubes would be better made from copper tube rather than Stainless steel as it is easier to drill, and the outer rods will need to be made of mild steel 6mm threaded bar, the inner rods will need to be stainless steel rods for ease of cleaning, so where can I get the bits, the copper tube I can do, and the threaded bar, but the stainless rods are the problem!!!

You could cut them off an old oven shelf (nab one out of an old cooker next time you're at your local dump) and then clean it up with oven pride or similar.

Failing that why not use the side of a shopping trolly and cut it from that...you might even be able to do one with the botton off of a mesh shopping basket.

If the worst comes to the worst then buy a cake rake and use that

Hope that helps,

Bam.

Actually mr doggy & LS thats a great idea! Two bits of copper tubing and two bits of threaded bolt rod.....weld a nut on outside of the copper tube where a hole had been drilled through....4 legs similar bolt rod...oven shelf or old barby top..have to attach that somehow......hmmmm

Have a better design to copy soon for a threaded tripod...with a wire rope winch!

Excelent idea, have a load of those on the camp site, used one to support the ammo box oven, and still have some left. Some 28 & 22mm tube, Will post the photo's when I have the kit together....

The folding firedish thats in some of the site pics http://www.grilliput.com/03en_grilliput_wegbegl.php
looks a lot like the folding pan steamer/colender I have. I'm sure they were in Ikea at not much cost either.

One day I`ll have to post a picture of a telescopic sausage stick with a nice wooden handle...you may also be interested in the pocket bonfire...

I`m sorry.

[Spikey DaPikey]

telescopic sassage stick, ya mean an old car ariel ?

Bit of wood on the end, job done

 

[Naruska]

Yes. Wooden handle, car antenna, fork at the end...nice leather sheath. Equipped with for example, Nokia logo. Muy Bien...ecologico!

The pocket bomfire is also quite good...it``s even been patented (I think...?). Any guesses?

Marko,

I think Trangia make one....Zippo do a real small one

Anyway....its the making thats the fun....a mate of mine built a collapsible shooting bench after a back injury meant he couldn't shoot prone anymore...curved round the body...non slip mat for left and right elbows....integral seat....frond projection for bench rest and bi pods....depression for your rear bean bag....cup holder (really)

Yup a picnic bench would be easier (although harder to carry)...but he had weeks of fun working it up from an old folding table and camera tripod....who said fun has to be practical (we wouldn't be Bushcrafters if it did )

 

[wingstoo]

It's more fun to make it than buy it, and it usually costs the same. Not always the case if you don't have to buy the kit though. I have just found an oven rack in the shed and cut the bars out ready for the new build, will find some off cuts of copper tomorrow, haven't got any 6mm threaded rod, but I do have 8mm so that will have to do. You may even see the photo's tomorrow night!

Oh thanks! where am I going to find those....or the money to buy them ?

I´ll have to try and find the "taskunuotio" (pocket fire) from somewhere in my stores...this stove works on methspirits gel...everything packs into a 0.2 litre aluminium cup...and post a picture (please don`t hold your breath...). I think this guy may have invented it...(among other things).

http://selkikeskus.com/keksinnot.html

I also have one version of the sierra stove...a kind of double layer "pot", which works as a campfire...it burns virtually anything.

Then there`s this type of contraption made of bits of wood, string and cardboard which folds down to pocket size....and opened up is just waiting to be lit...obviously its disposable. As campfires usually are... Also invented by the "taskunuotio" guy. Winters up here in the north are very long and boring...therefore, people come up with various types of creativity...one guy even invented a system for a rowing boat, where the traditional stroke propels the boat backwards....the advantage being...you face the direction you are going.

Maybe I need to go and sleep...

I use the use wire griddle from a small grill tray, sat on the two logs of a hunters fire, it works very well. It also slips between my pack and frame, so it dose'nt soil my kit. (piccy in my gallery I think )

Hi Folks,

It is nowhere near as good looking as the shop one, and the 8mm rod really needs to be 6mm, but here it is, took about 40 mins to make.

Also needs a little refining (prettying up)
