Grab an old keg, a slab and go to Bretts and make one for the price of a box of piss.Kegs too big and Bretts a non drinker

They were never sold into Australia, as far as I know. I have always been interested in them but the price plus transport was just to much.
They should be better than the "ozpig" design for cooking

Seems to be a lot of metal bits goes into the thing to only weigh that little...
Maybe that's why the price is ok?
My fold up fire pit that was done by a myswagger was a toe breaker by comparison, (remember to pack the steel caps)....
... and it was basically just two folding pieces of sheet metal....It'll be interesting to see what the field report says in terms of robustness and quality...

it weights the same as a gas bottle & a 2 burner stove
it allows me to cook and heat myself when camp fires are not allowed3
I can use the same cooking equipment I use on the gas
the fuel is free and readily available (small sticks)
If you think this is a self justification you're right, but it's true :laugh:

i have cooked for my family for 30 years and a while professionally. i really enjoy it, it is not something I hand to my wife as "womens work". Therefore I am willing to indulge myself knowing that we will all enjoy the fruits of my labours (and the equipment I buy). I guess that if it was my wife who cooked I probably say the same??
Camping is great, it's better with good food!!!

Ozpig = 21kg
Supacentre stove = 10.5kg
There'd have to be a quality difference there...
But that said, it all comes down to the price its worth to you and the function it'll serve. Just like why we're happy with our $30ish VicOffroad firepit and haven't forked out for the SnowPeak one. ;)

No issue with that, I am the chief cook and bottle washer in our family and I use Weber baby q, 2 burner stove, Dutch oven anda fold out bbq plate when camping. All dependent on weather, fire season etc as to which I use.
Good food and variety when camping is essential.

A lot of the 4WDsupacentre stuff is like Ikea furniture, you don't actually own it, you are just renting it till it $hits itself. Nothing wrong with renting, lots of people do it.

Below is from the NPSR web-site
A fully enclosed cooking or heating appliance, preferably using gas or fuel, can be used at all camping areas unless a total fire ban is in place.
•The appliance must use only manufactured fuel.
•It must be used for cooking and/or heating only.
•It must be 20cm off the ground.
•Manufactured fuel does not include timber or wood.
•Appliances that are not fully self-contained, such as braziers, are not permitted.
•All appliances, materials and fuels (e.g. heat beads) must be removed from the national park on departure.

I used my ozpig on Fraser, and the rangers saw it each night on their rounds and were happy with it.. dont forget to the firewood rules too.

A little of topic, but are these 'cookers' allowed on Fraser Island (beach camping)so long as you call it a cooker, don't use any timber to burn in it (you need to burn sawdust logs, heatbeads, compressed paper logs etc), then remove any ash / charcoal from the Island when you leave (it's not allowed in the bins on the island), then the answer is yes.

Interesting idea, can't help but think you would have to clean the dust off of it everytime you went to use it, and if you had left any oily residue on it from using it, it would be a dust magnet. I guess that is one of the reasons it's stainless.
It does look like the kings one would go close to fitting into one of their Dirty gear bags (https://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/adventure-kings-dirty-gear-bag.html) to borrow their idea.

If you use the right oil and prep it properly then anything like this should not be oily but a hard slippery surface http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-seasoning-cast-iron/ (http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-seasoning-cast-iron/)

Here it is in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUA44iW0mak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUA44iW0mak)
Interesting concept, initially thought that it was automated and sensed the level of smoke etc and adjusted the airflow to optimise the burn but basically just looks like a fan with a few different settings that you choose, don't think it is going to do a lot more than a well-designed fire pit with good airflow though. Looks like they sold over 2m worth with their Kickstarter campaign though so piqued the interest of quite a few.

Could always add a small battery blower kit to a flat pak fire pit easily enough . Be way cheaper and less bulk than this thing and put the unspent $$$ difference towards fire side refreshments . ;D
It would be cool if it was powered by a small steam turbine heated from the fire, maybe a small battery or capacitor that powers it whilst it is heating up that is then also recharged by the small steam turbine once the fire gets going, would be better/geekier option than something like the advertised one that you need to remember to recharge.

Somewhat ironically perhaps is that it's made by the same people who make the firepit, not cheap though. Maybe that will be a future model.

Sorry Guys, I've been obsessed with getting ready for the Kimberly trip and as it's not going it has sat in the shed
A couple of observations, given I haven't fired it up these are speculation.
I think a grate in this would allow a better burn.
I'm not sure that there is enough air intake for cooking without leaving the door open, but it might be OK if you just want some heat.
The design will mean that it will smoke, but that is why you have the chimney.
