We recently bought a couple of cheap disposable barbeques for our next trip and looking around there doesn't seem to be any cheap stands to hold them off the floor/table. £1 for the BBQs then another 12 quid or so for a metal stand that may or may not be the right size. I think not
So I made this. It's some scrap wood and an old oven shelf. The wood was originally a shoe stand which was chopped up to make shelves for our folding camper. We also bought a second oven shelf for the camper and kept it thinking it would fit our new caravan oven but it's too small.
It may be worth fixing some means of pegging down (an eyelet on the bottom of each "leg"?) so that it can secured if on a "wonky" field..?
..also it may be worth looking a some means of retaining the grill mesh in place so it doesn't slid about when cooking of it...?(..some grooves in the top of the legs?... )
pepe - We plan to use it on top of table so wobbliness shouldn't be a problem.
It's hard to tell from the picture but there are v shaped slots in the tops of the legs that the bars sit in. It can still slide back and forth but not side to side.
Hopefully we're testing it out next week in Norfolk.
That's really clever. I use an outwell BBQ, it folds flat and costs £20. Brilliant piece of kit more because it folds flat. Pric start from £20 if you look around.

I hope I didn't come over as "critical", as that wasn't my intention ..
It's just that I had in mind the hassle we have with our griddle plate skidding about on our gas stove..and the umpteen occasions that I've nearly lost the breakfast on the floor...
