Flatpack Fire Pit/BBQ

[weeds]

Spotted on another forum.......well priced and one of the better designs going around.

All Aussie made (Aussie steel) employing Aussies......

I tempted to buy one, well I was going to design and make my own but at $80 it's not worth the effort.....

anybody else interested?? If there is enough interest I might send him the link to this thread.

yep, i was hitting him up for ideas a month or so ago............no point in re-inventing the wheel.

[Vern]

I saw that as well weeds on my swag, looks good, better then the one I have due to this being bigger, and for $80, its a damn bargain.
See if you can get more interest on here. I might get one, or two, or three:D

OK. The one I saw was in a camping store in Echuca. I thought it looked good but was about $100+. It looked identical very, very similar.

Having had a look around the the 'net, there are, as you say, a lot of them. Most are much more expensive than this blokes!

[loanrangie]

If anyone wants one i can collect as he is not far from me , Weeds maybe Ron can take to Sydney then post or aulro courier from there ?

Spotted these as well. I'm interested.

[debruiser]

I've been thinking I should invest in one of these as well.... I'll keep an eye on the developments here :D

[jayray377]

Watching with interest too.

[rnrphantom]

G'day everyone,
I am making and selling these through my work.
I work for a manufacturing company for the Automotive industry (which is in the throes of closing down) and thought that this may help generate sales and keep someone employed.
I have over 300 hours of burn time on my original fire pit over 3+ years and it still works great with easy assembly and disassembly and no coals on the ground. I cook on it most weekends either with a hot plate, skewers or camp oven.
I have no financial interest.
Assembled size is 600 x 300 x 300.
Flat packed size is 600 x 300 x 50.
Weight is 11.5 kg
Postage at cost or pick up from Reservoir in Melbourne is available.

Cheers

Rob

[weeds]

Geez Rob you have come over to the dark side.....

[p38arover]

If Sydneysiders want to collect them from me, I'm happy to bring some back. There's very little saving in postage between Sydney and, say, Brisbane cf. Reservoir to Brisbane so it wouldn't be worth the effort bring them here to post (assuming the manufacturer doesn't load the postage costs).

I know a bloke at Sunbury who might be able to deliver them from Sunbury to Wombat. :angel:

[BathurstTom]

I would also be interested in one of these. I would also be happy to bring some from Emu Plains up to Bathurst.

Hi Ron, i only charge what Australia post charge. There is no additional cost for packaging or time. This may change down the track but for now, it is just actual cost.

Rob

[p38arover]

:):)

That's really good to know, Bob. I'm sure all will appreciate that when they consider the hassle to pack and post.

[Ranga]

I'm keen

[rnrphantom]

You can calculate the postage costs on the below link.
As mentioned, there is no cost for packaging and handling.

[alittlebitconcerned]

That's a bargain. Count me in!

[rar110]

Me too.

[rnrphantom]

G'day all,
You can calculate postage cost on the Australia Website.
https://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/calculate-postage-delivery-times/#/

Postage is from reservoir 3073. Dimensions are: 62cm x 32cm x 6cm weight is 12kg.
optional is pick up from Reservoir on weekdays or Sunbury on weekends.
Please send me a message if you'd like one and I can then advise banking details.

Cheers
Rob

[cripesamighty]

Would love one too.

[rnrphantom]

If you want to message me with your postcodes, I can work out postage costs and give you banking details.
Cheers
Rob

[pommy]

Iam keen is it possible to pick up after hours ?

[SimonM]

I bought one from Rob via Myswag and it should be here next week.

[jayray377]

Hey Rob, I see in one of the original pics there are some "pegs" or the like to hold a plate or camp oven etc. are these available too or is this something that has evolved out of necessity

Hi Jay, they are just converted tent pegs. I jse these to sit the BBQ plate, camp oven or billy on.

Hi Ron

Would you be kind enough to help us Queenslanders out and bring some back to Sydney for us.

The an is than to get a Queenslander going to the EXPO to bring them the rest of the way.

How many would you be prepared to carry in the back of the rangie......

3 maybe 4

[R2D2]

Weeds.
Just a thought. If it helps,
I can send a half pallet to Brisbane for around $140
If there are say 10 units on it, that's only $14 each extra. The more on it the lower it gets.
20=$7 etc
I can pick them up from Sunbury when I get mine.
Only condition is there has to be a forklift at the receiving end.

That's a good option.....we could also include myswag dudes

Fire pits into Brisbane........

Looking for numbers to reduce postage costs..

As per R2D2's offer of a pallet makes it pretty easy......AULRO Courier is also an option. I have asked on myswag as well.

I can deliver northern side of Brisbane and travel to Tamborine every second Friday so could also do a drop off

A half pallet is even better. Ean Austral had a shipment sent down from Darwin to me on a half pallet. The L322 is just wide enough for a pallet. The fork lift put it on the tailgate and I slid it in along the Unistrut runners I have on each side.

I'm interested in 2 for Brisbane.

[kenleyfred]

Provided the pallet is clearly marked to me and we know where it's come from, the pallet can be delivered to my work base in Hendra.
Kenley

[Tins]

Ring around. Most freight companies charge by the pallet space, and it can be $290 + GST. So, get as many on the pallet as you can. Usually a std pallet space can be up to 1200 high, and 1 tonne in weight. Don't overhang the pallet and get it wrapped.
Apologies if you already know this. I'm just sorry this didn't come up a month ago. I would have taken them up and maybe scored one as payment:(

Oh, as anyone going to take some to Wombat?

I'll swing around tonight and pick it up.

Well, after a few false starts and bad weather, I type this with my toes toasting beside a great little bbq!
I don't recon that I could mark out the pattern in 2 hours, let alone drill, bend and finish it in a whole day of stuffing around in the shed.
In short; just buy one! or better yet a couple like I did.
These are a steal at $80!!. Easily worth $130.
You can spend heaps more money on a micro backpacking stove (I have) that will burn through in 6 or 8 outings or this beauty that will last ages.
Many thumbs up to the maker and designers, it fits together easily and securely and has great ventilation and access for all types of cooking options.
Thanks weeds for letting us know and r2d2 for transport. Gotta love AULRO.
You ripper:D

[kenleyfred]

Absolutely back up everything said above. Fired it up last night in the howling gale and again tonight. Cooked the whole meal over it. What a great design. So easy to put together and very economical on firewood.
Also add my thanks to Weeds for bringing it to our attention and for organising the Brisbane group buy.
