g'day kman1 - never heard of them until your post. after a quick googling, there is not much information apart from the price of approximately $180.00 which seems a bit dear for a portable 2 burner bbq. but after a bit more googling came across the outdoors chain that has the name of a large snake, a python i believe. anyway their price was about half, so off i went, there is a store conveniently close. unfortunately there was not one on display so i opened the box. there is some construction to be done and it is a bit hard to comprehend how it's going to work. but for about $80.00, there is now one in the car ready for me to put together, at that price i couldn't pass it up. if i get a chance to build and try this weekend (spare time obviously is controlled by the parole officer indoors, mow the lawn, wash the car etc etc etc), i'll let you know

gday kman - sorry i've been a bit slack and also in deep trouble with the parole officer. She went to work one day and when she returned, a fair bit of damage to her beloved garden had occurred. may have had something to do with the very large tree that i had removed whilst she obviously wasn't here. been very quiet. but back to the original. it is not a bad little bbq, we did a meal for 4 people on the weekend and it was reasonably efficient. a little bit slow but with the hood down, it did pick up a bit with the roasting effect. i'm not sure about the fat etc which splashes around inside and will probably put some alfoil under the burners and try to keep it a bit cleaner that way. also the fat tray underneath the bbq was a bit fiddly but not too bad. overall, i certainly wouldn't pay the price that i had seen of appriximately $180 but for the bargain price of $80 that i paid. there are certainly better bbq's around but at what price. this hark that i have will find it's way into my work vehicle and get a reasonable workout as i am often out in the bush with a couple of troops.
regards - bb1

let me know what you think of it, i'm not sure if the one i bought will actually make it to work, i will probably keep it at
home as a quick fix rather than fire up the full size bbq.
cheers - bb
