Timely,
Our family is overlanding Tasmania for 4 weeks in January so I have been looking for something flatpack (instead of a cut down 44) and found a few examples for sale on evilbay. These were what I was after but decided I would knock up one myself and save some coin.
Found some plans online (google is your friend here) and fabbed up one smaller and a little stouter. I work for metal fab company so raided the offcut bin. I used 1.9mm Zinc Aneal instead of 3mm plate to keep weight down.
Original plans are detailed at 600x250x300, ours ended up 400x300x310 as I had a spare BBQ plate to suit (so that became my dimensions).
I'm sure it will warp a little (dont pour water on it) but given it took an hour and material was free im pretty happy with the result. Best part is as one of the longer panels is 5mm deeper than the other it creates an overlap, keeping the coals off the ground... A requirement for most AUS campsites.
This will be used as a campfire and additionally with the BBQ plate as our secondary cooking method.
Apologies for the insta HDR, if there is interest I'd gladly upload the plans.
