my 1 oz grill

[mtwarden]

well actually 1.5 oz

borrowed on several other folks ideas and came up w/ a very light, small grill that packs away in one piece

it consists of two aluminum tubes and eight titanium bike spokes

the outer tube is a 12" section of a Easton aluminum arrow, the inner tube is a 5/16" thin walled aluminum (can be had at Ace Hardware)- the eight ti spokes fit in the inner tube, the inner tube into the out tube- two small plastic caps (you need to cut the 5/16" piece slightly shorter to accommodate the caps)

drill holes for the spokes

you could do this on the rear cheap by using two sections of an arrow, use steel spokes instead of ti- just divy the spokes between the two arrow sections and use a small rubberband to keep them together

the grill will be used mainly for grilling small trout, I haven't tried it yet- but think it will handle my .7 l pot as well in a pinch (out of fuel)- I don't think it would handle anything much over that

if you needed something heavier, simply up the diameter of the rod (ti or steel)

Nice job! I saw that over at BPL and have added it to my "must build" list.

definitely on my to do list, unfortunately will have to wait for May- I've got a week long trip planned for the Gila Wilderness in NM- evidently lots of good fishing opportunities

yep, I'll be making one of those. Sweet job!

Now all you need is a 1 gram alcohol burner

Just don't mind the dishes, it's actually an old set of pictures

Great job on your grill :thumbup:

Looks pretty good, only concern is aluminum melts at a pretty low temp, and that hollow rod heats up fast. So just don't melt it.

I wonder if someone with some engineering background and materials could fab a snap together titanium triangulated stove with the same idea in mind.

This is just the beginning.

 

[mtwarden]

nice "stove"

my idea is to use the aluminum as mostly support on the rocks- will still see some heat, but most ideally will directed towards the ti

there is ti tubing available (to replace the aluminum)- it's awful pricey (check http://www.titaniumjoe.com/ ), but no worries on heat- they also sell small dia rod as well

figured I better update this thread now that I know it works

The fish look great, and so does that orangle handled WM1

yup- doing fine, I was surprised one time when I went to move it slightly and the aluminum was barely heated

there is a little sticking to the Ti, you can scrape what little sticks pretty easily- just to play it safe the grill goes into my bear bag and gets hung w/ the rest of the food

I'm liking my little WM1
