Thread: Open Fire grill thingy, any good?

Didn’t even think of this.... have always had a small open fire. Don’t think iv seen any fire ban signage but maybe I should look harder...

Look on trademe for a second hand 4 or 6 burner gas hob. Should be able to find a second hand one where someone has just redone their kitchen. Make a frame to sit it in with a solid lid on top that can double as a bench/cutting area/food preparation area. Its a lot more compact than a BBQ.

Just be aware that most domestic hobs require 230v power supply for the safety devices - no power, no worky.
