We have a bbq that folds with fold down legs that ends up as a metal suitcase ( cant remember where the hell i got it from grrrrrrr) but if we take the grill off it is fantastic for a fire and doesnt harm the grass.

Wasnt expensive and worth checking out.

Next time you replace your washine machine, remove the old drum ( can be a chore depending on model! ). This can be used as a brazier and comes with it's own handy stand. This can then be filled with logs before setting off. Not exactly compact but works a treat.

Its better to regret things you've done than things you have never tried

Someone brought one to the Fullbrook Farm meet, he stood it on a car wheel rim to elevate it, worked a treat

Really good idea but remember SAFETY FIRST. Fire is wonderfull but can be dangerous.

Keep Kids WELL AWAY

Keep pets WELL AWAY

Always have a bucket of water ready

Be extra carefull if you have a few beers

ALWAYS wet it down before going to bed. Even the smallest spark can be ignited by the wind and get blown onto a tent. As a former Campsite Warden I have had to deal with that kind of thing and it aint pretty

Thanks for the warning generalhawk, you can't be too careful with fire.

Bought one of these today for our little camping adventure at the end of the month:
