moor man Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw a few of these on interweb and thought Id have a go. Got a few finishing touches to do. Made from a .50cal ammo box, steel plate welded to the base of box then the whole thing is turned upside down, legs are threaded bar into JB welded nuts (should have welded these) to the lid, the feet have drilled washers attached to peg to the ground,. Chimney made from steel cans, bit of fire cement to bung up any gaps, all fits into box for transport! Will try to upload a vid, off camping with it in cornwall now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Looks great. Is it stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moor man Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks for comments, not stable in the photo as its missing a leg! (Been replaced now) The legs screw into nuts attached with JB weld(heat resistant) to lid, the feet are made from washer and nut epoxied together, the washer is drilled to take a tent peg. The whole thing is then anchored to the ground. Forgot to mention that it converts to a small barbeque by removing lid, legs and chimney, flip it over and put the grille on top, bobs yer auntie Will post some more pics on my return, cheers moor man.
