At last, what all lightweight backpackers have been waiting for,
an ultra-lightweight portable barbecue, the Grilliput...
The
roll-up charcoal griller weighs 560 grammes and packs down to a 29cm
x 2.2 cm cylinder for transport yet still gives a grilling area of
23cm x 26cm. It's made from stainless steel and incorporates a handy
cleaning groove that allows you to scrape congealed food from the
grilling rails.
You can either cook directly over coals on a rock or use the
additional stainless steel firedish to hold the fuel.
It goes without saying that you need to take care not to create a
fire hazard, but for lightweight backpackers with a barbecue itch to
scratch, it looks like an interesting option for campsite
cuisine.
The Grilliput itself costs £25 and the Fire Dish another
£10.50. More details at www.grilliput.com.
