Mini backpack grill

[sons of scotland]

i bought this oven grate at a thrift store hoping to make a little packpack grill out of it.

the oven grate i started with

cut it in half with bolt cutters

the legs are 4 tent stakes

the end and the middle of the grate already had hollowed out tubes.

i inserted the tent stakes in the tube

the finished result

the grill folded up

the finished grill measures 12"x 8"

when i inserted the grill into the ground a few inches i was surprised how sturdy it was.

Great step-by-step photos of a very useful project! Nice work!

That's slick, SOS. Amazing what you can find at the thrift store. I've used a toaster oven grate, but I like that yours has legs that fold up.

Sweet grill! I've really got to start visiting the local thrift store...

Looks great Buddy! It'll look even better over some coals loaded up with that good grub you show us pics of! A rack of ribs would knock the new off that grill real nice.
Good thread, Donk.

Sons of Scotland,

Between this grill and the fireirons / grill from Donk, you ought to be about set, eh.?

Great find and mod to make a neat grill. Nice to repurpose things you find in the thrift stores, there's gold in those stores if you look with a 'shrafty eye.

I would have never thought to do something like this. Good idea, and something to keep in mind.
