Thread: Open Fire grill thingy, any good?

Keeping it cool - get an icey-tek chilly bin, the bigger the better. If you want to be away for a week, get one that is twice to three times bigger than the volume of food you are planning to take. Freeze as much food as you can and locate it lower in the chilly bin, with refrigerated items that you are going to use first closer to the top. Put a layer of flake salt ice on the bottom, then frozen food, then layer of flake salt ice, more food, layer of ice, etc. When away, minimise the amount of times the bin gets opened to keep the atmosphere cold. Keep the bin in the shade and as per above, keep wet sacks over the bin. Drain any melted water twice daily.
I recommend nothing less than a 135L unit, 185Lt or 300Lt is even better.
I have my 135Lt mounted across the A frame draw bar of my trailer. Made up an 50x50 angle iron frame that it sits into to support the floor of the bin, and then two ratchet tiedowns over the top to hold it in place. Works a treat and keeps the trailer deck free for the quad bike.

If you are allowed an open fire, the fire plate you have shown will get you through no problem.
An option for open fire but without a pit is the likes of these https://darche.co.nz/cooking/_item/bbq-450 I have had a Snow Peak one for years now and they work really well. There was a cheaper one around in NZ but cannot find a link at the moment. I had to import mine from Aust.

If you are not allowed a fire pit and are going gas, try one of these https://www.savebarn.co.nz/2-burner-...scription=true
Add a three ring burner with a Dutch oven and a No3 Plat Potjie pot and you are laughing for any number of people. https://www.biltongplus.co.nz/produc...-2887def32925/
