WK hand forged Ultra-portable grill

[Whittler Kev]

Here's the latest prototype from the forge someone asked me to design .

A 18" x 10" (45cm x 25cm) grill, with bars at every 2", that will fit in a tiny drawstring bag (about 20" x 3" :yikes: - If I can make one )

It weighs 1.5kg (just over 3lb's in old money)

£35 without a bag but with Paypal and postage

imagine trying ti build that when ur pisheeeed .... crisps anyone .... . nice work kev ...

It's like a Khyam tent but goes up quicker........40 seconds(ish) as there are only 4 wingnuts to do up

What stops the legs flattening Kev ? Is it just held tight enough so they don't slip ?

Handy looking bit of kit

 

[Robbi]

looks like theres a flat bit next to the hoop on the legs that goes under the frame, stops them opening up

Not the tightness of the wing nut's that stop it. They are just to hold the sides on. They can't go any farther out due to the design but they could fold under to about 20º from vertical. but they will still be stable. The next version will be even more stable as it came to me how to mod it after it was all put together

I could see that possibly working with an Aluminium frame and tent peg bars....

Oh yeah so there is, well spotted Robbi

I see the bar's looped at one side with a lug at the other, clever stuff Kev.

I think it may be a little flimsy with Ali and may flatten with a dutch oven on it. (I've tested it with the big plant pot with a tree in it as before, but haven't stood on this one.....yet )

The bend on the end of the interim bars are so they can be pushed in without falling through (not so fiddly this way)

I was thinking more for 1/2 person cooking with mess tins - not quite dutch oven scale. A grilliput syle thing but flat and light.

One of the grills made an outing to Norwich today

The 16 snorkers and cups etc help to show the size
ohh...and I got a bag made for it

 

[RJames]

that is beautiful kev... I will be in touch with you about a tripod and/ or a grill in the next month when my belated xmas bonus appears

If you want to see what weight they take, have a look on the Norwich and Norfolk thread where it got used as a table
