Thread: Biji barbi - Who's got one?

Mate has one and he loves it, quick to cook on and easy clean up.

They are designed to fit over the single burners as well as a small fire.

If I could afford it, I'd have one too.

We have one, and its a great little tool. Comes with a wind baffle, double ended tongs that clip on the handle. Works well over coals and gas. You just have to be mindful setting it up over the small stoves with the aerosol type gas cartridges as they need space. We use ours atop a 2 burner gas stove without issue. I don't have access to it right now as its down on the block in storage, but I'll dig it out tomorrow and get a measurement for you if someone does not beat me to it!

Looks like a slick version of the plough disc with 3 stainless nuts welded underneath, that sit on three stainless legs with a thread tapped on one end for dismantling.

My 4mm thick one has a threaded hole in it so I can do a stir fry when plugged, or a normal bbq with the fat dripping on the fire underneath.

Good gear.

I've considered the make vs buy conundrum, but most plough discs I've come across have a hole that big in them that you'd lose a sausage down! Plus I haven't found a cheap supplier. A quick look at ebay some bloke wants 40 bucks used...

Add some welding, some hardware, some time, and everything else (canvas cover) the buy price is not a bad offering.

Hi,
Happy with mine!

Cheers

Have a google at cadac skottel
When i lived in South Africa practically every family had one. They are vey versatile.

I cut the 'big hole' square, then welded in a bit of plate with a 10mm hole drilled in the middle, with a 10mm stainless nut welded under.

Removable plug is a 10mm bolt with a tee welded to the head.

The hardest part for me was cutting the threads on the stainless legs....... never again. I'd just buy the right length bolts next time.

This thing was built to suit what I like to cook and last forever, hence the stainless.

cheers, DL

Love mine. First thing in the Disco before I go camping or off road. Used it for 4 years now. A good scrub and a touch of oil post cooking, Mine does not look as shiny as yours mate.
