What a good piece of kit. Wish I'd seen this first. Would like to know How well out handles the heat.

Had a look at the one in ASDA for £25 & it looks a great bit of kit. So thinking to get it but was just wondering what that one compared to the £10 bucket bbq from Sainsburys. Which would be the winner?

Why not use a BBQ and then you can cook your sausages an then move onto logs. We use a Weber portable one (rectangular with folding legs) which you cant seem to get anymore but the smokey joe would be a good firepit with the lid off.

We used a bbq last year and it was fine for providing heat, but you have to take care of Sparks blowing off in random directions. That's why I bought the B&M one this year, as out has a spark defuser (lid with tiny holes, that still let's the heat out but not the Sparks).

If you buy a bbq to use, you just have to position well away from anyones tent. :)

I bought a Smokey Joe at a boat jumble for three pounds in almost unused condition. So far we have not used it for camping as it is so bulky compaired to our current bucket type, that stacks with other items like a russian doll if that makes sence. (three buckets and the BBQ all fit inside our very old and basic Elsan Mini Loo) I was talking to swmbo only yesterday during our trip to the lakes, and think I will try using the short tube legs from our tripod style BBQ which is huge and takes a lot of setting up (so never gets used)  to replace the long springy original legs

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I'm torn between the giant notebook and the B & M firepit...

The guitar of the noisy teenager on the next pitch makes excellent kindling.

No, but I went for one of these instead (not at that price though). Still to be christened.

I have used the Outwell 'fold flat' Cazal Grill BBQ both for cooking and as a fire pit - Works fine - My tip to avoid warping would be to let it cool down on its own and don't poor water on it.

A friend of mine uses an old wok, propped up on bricks, stones or breezeblocks. It was one that was going to the bin anyway, non stick coating falling off etc. Now they use it as a firepit, and having the handle means they can easily move/empty it. I am on the lookout in charity shops now for an old cheap wok too to give this idea a go. I don't want to sacrifice my own when I use it often!
