Legs are made from hollow tube with headless bolts fitted into tubes, nuts are welded at equal spacing around flange.

Simple exhaust tube from the local exhaust shop flanged at one end to be stacked on each other.

All painted up in heat resistant black.

I have an old gas bottle with the valve removed and filled with water, you have inspired me to copy you without a single deviation, except my unit may not be as pretty as yours and well, I still need to make that time to go do it. Great project and I thank you for sharing it with us mate.

It looks like you painted it too? what did you use? and will you be cooking straight onto the painted surface I.E will food be in direct contact with it?

Up and running.
Painted with Heat resistant exhaust paint so wouldn't recommend direct cooking off the plate, makes a mess anyway.
We will use a cast iron pan or pot sitting on the plate. Amazing how little wood it uses for the heat output as well.
