.... I`ll logo it up for the Tossers who ride all other marques (I have been told God rides an 1150 ...?)

Not just a 1150, but a 1150 GSA.

Don't do the --.99 thing...we're alledgedly adults.

Agreed. I only round it up anyway.

Not sure if this will help or not but these are the grills I mentioned,

lightweight tubular stainless. Found them via ADVrider's camping thread which led to this chaps sight and the evolution of his camping stove setup, which is very neat indeed. Here's the end product and you can follow through for the full evolution, gave me ideas for my own on bike camping setup.

Yes mate, good suggestions - thinking about it at around 3.30am this morning I think I might go for some `slats`as long as I can make them substantial enough. It`ll make them easier to clean than mesh or tube.

If I get time this weekend I am testing a prototype - I am going to try and melt it to warp it!

 

[ricdunn]

To be fair, that black one looks brill and I cannot fault it for the dosh however it looks like I won`t be able to kick it to death and I bet the post about it warping under heat is true. If you focus on removing cost this is what you end up with - don`t get me wrong - I aint knocking it as I think its good for the money but there has to be compromises. Also, I think it will be a bitch to clean.

Absolutely right on all counts - looked great the first time it was set up, looked a bit worse the next morning, looked like sh!t once it had been stamped flat to fold it again and now looks ready for the bin with rust and welded on remnants of anything that'd burn...

Much prefer your new one!

 

[Toad]

Looks fantastic.

I'd be interested for sure.....

 

[mr badger]

Knocking it over and the judicious use of a fork is good

A Titanium Touratech fork I trust.

There's an idea Mark, Complete folding field kitchen in stainless. Mmm...

Love the Barbie.

 

[ELIMINATOR]

Anyone going to ask for one with "Tosser" laser profiled?

 

[Dickieboy]

Put me down as an interested party, the 1150 version please

 

[(RIP) Kaister]

looks good , but all you actually need is a grill top from an old oven rack and a few rocks.

you'll be putting it on the ground anyway.

still, if you've got more money than sense, carry on regardless.

I would agree, but most campsites wont allow you have fires directly on the ground......so if yer gonna have a BBQ you might as well have a feckin good one!!

alternative

You could always get one of these for only £1.00 available at all supermarkets

Bugger me, I need help as my gear still `does it for me` when I see it

That's a seriously sexy bit of kit, I'm quite aroused

To avoid upsetting campsite owners how about a tray underneath to catch the embers that fall out and burn the floor.

 

[Loiq]

would a tray under it not act like a scrotching hot iron? which would kill all the grass anyway?

it does look well thought out...

 

[D6]

why not add 3 foot legs so you dont have to bend down,shelf underneath for the bespoke gs plates, full set of tools, chimney, s/s case to put it in and then go in the car to carry it all?

I think Kirst meant an optional tray that slots onto the legs somehow (thereby keeping it off the ground) and possibly with a very slight upward facing lip.

Shouldn't be much of an engineering problem for a man of your calibre Mark Hooton.

 

[ogri-nic]

Thats good I wont have to get one, just steal yours !! hey hey what a good idea !!

just make sure that this toe rag buys one.......
or I'll have to share and he eats way to much to fit on ONE barbeque that would fit onto a bike

Update

Hi all and thanks for the posts - I tried the 0.9mm thick one and it warped like all the other sh*te ones on the market where cost is the driver. It did, however, reform once it had cooled down but I didn`t like it so thats that.

The 2mm one performed much better and had a much more quality `kick it to death and it will still work` feel about it

I have considered a lid which also doubles up as an ash tray but I think I can get round it by redesigning it so there isn`t the holes in the bottom to allow the ash to fall out in the first place

I am also adding a briquette mesh and replacing the top mesh (because it`s sh*te like all the other cheap ones available ) and replacing it with laser profiled slats which will be easier to clean and farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr more sexy

I hope to have the design changes made and another produced for the Andover bash so, once again, if you see a tent on fire come and say hello

 

[sanqhar]

Charcoal is a "top burner" and doesn't need a through draft so you don't really need the holes.

Would it be an idea to have a lower grid, too?

Most BBQ's have a lower grid for the coals to sit on, helping the airflow considerably.

It wouldn't add to the bulk too much.

You need one to burn COAL as it won't burn sitting in it's own ash, where as wood will.
