Well, I guess like most things, this was born out of necessity.
At Classic Ford and other meetings , Oldbus and others always have the BBQ.
However, we do not know who we will be camping with at the Retro Show in July at Santa Pod, so I thought it wise to make a small 2-3 person BBQ that can be abused and used as needed.
Picked up a couple of empty Helium tanks today from Party balloon suppliers at the tip, along with a Briggs and Stratton petrol lawnmower.
2 Angle grinders, hammer, vice, mig welder, some bicycle seat uprights, a handlebar cut in half and some offcut stainless steel mesh, an hour playing in the garage, and we have a basic BBQ that should work just fine.
Quick cut here, and there....
Leaving me with this
Small rest area on side for meatbowl to rest on and keep meat warm till all is ready to eat.
Hacksaw and welder later, has us with a functional tool, just need to cut the slots for the air to flow through.
Trust you like.
I really would have prefered to have used a Jerry can and made a closing lid BBQ with handle, but not having a jerry can meant having to resort to this.
The other one is to cut in half so that I can use it as a recessed section in the gas bottle and battery box, below the top level of the A-frame of the trailer at the front.
