BBQ sounds good, hard to beat a good feed of snags on the hot plate.

Very nice... can't beat Home made fabrication...  I made a Toilet Roll holder/spike on Friday from 10mm Brite Steel.   Maybe (if there isn't already) start a thread showing things we have built for our camping trips...

Nice work, have you thought about a light mount of some sought on it. Maybe something that could hold one of those cheapo $5.00 led torch's for night time visits.

That is terrific DNO. I have two similar, though I bought them from Hillbilly. I think your design is superior.

Maybe a little less grill and more plate? I know, I know, this is an endless debate, but personally I use the plate all the time but almost never use the grill.

Thanks Jules,
I totally agree with the hotplate % I would've like'd even more but it's made from scrap and that was the the biggest piece i could find laying around, without welding bits together, and can always put a pan on the grill.

That I did!!!   But figured that the girls will let me know what they want and if I put all sorts of hooks and stuff on it it would just be unappreciated anyway...
I just could not bare listening too all weekend "How wet the Toilet paper got"   so start with the basics and this way they will help design it further and they can feel like they had some input in it's design...  But I do like that idea of those cheap LED torches hanging off it.... I will let them come up with that... :)

BTW I am now on the lookout for some plate to make my BBQ with.....

Speewa was using my drive as a storage area for his PDFP's. It's just cost me a $$$$$$ to have them all graded out.   ;D ;D ;D ;D
