Default Anybody remember the "safari grill"?

http://store.cajun-outdoor-cooking.c...atopnepog.html

These have popped up under different names over the years. Safari
Industries used to make and market them until they tanked. Dik Butkiss
used to advertise them on infomercials etc.

When I was a kid back in the 60's my folks , two brothers, and sister
went on a great vacation out west, in an old 1960 Plymouth
stationwagon.complete with a home built camper on the top, and a water
evaporator in the passenger front window. We took this same type of
grill to every camping joint we stayed in and didn't have to cart
around charcoal and wait for the coals to get hot. These things did
work and work well. I'm tempted to get one for next time I take the
grandkids boating on the lake. They do have some barren beachs that
you can pull up the boat swim, play volleyball etc. with no cooking
restrictions. But they don't have any grills, so you bring your own.

They set up and tear down easily, It's jsut basicly rings within rings
that stack, and all you do is wad up newspaper, throw 'em in, light
it, and cook. It cooks burgers fast.

No hassle.

This guy has devoted a site for them:

Anybody else here ever use one?
