Here's my bluestone bbq I built last xmas, got plenty of use over the break!

Maybe should make a matching bar/fridge area next to it once the verandah is up

Damn rodderz nice setup.. I got the exact same bbq but just on a standard frame.. bit hard for us to do something like that due to uneven back yard.. but I really should figure out a way to do something permanent..

Got a similar oven to that made out of smallish drum. Heap of holes drilled in the bottom to allow airflow (after initial burnt hands- gas/flame/ no air, bad.)

Basically cut the drum in half, hinges on the rear, mounted at one end. battery powered, works wonders.. Really nice

Umm hasn't the beer keg esky at bathurst been done before - came third in the best esky comp too. was powered by a turbo Honda lawnmower engine or similar - started at 5hp engine they ended up with 9hp at the wheels (yes they got the POS dyno'd). Looked like a heap of fun though you would get cold sitting on a metal esky packed with ice!!

I think I saw the article in an old Zoom mag
