haha sorry, by little buddy, i meant the base camp
I see alot of guys mount their mods above the heat? i know heat rises but isnt it hottest right in front of the ceramics right by the heat guard?
Gamalot, I like just reheating pre-cooked meals, no fuss, no mess. That chili and lasagna sounds good too. I'm going to try to get more creative with meals this year...
After looking at all these innovative ideas you guys came up with, I decided to give my idea a try. I used to have a blind heater with a 9" grate that I never used, so I decided to adapt the grate to my Buddy Heater. It had 4 legs on it, 2 of which I cut off and used the other 2 as hinge pins. I mounted a piece of 3/8" copper tube between the handles. The tubing has 2 end slots to except the 2 hinge pins (legs) and is attached with 2 small sheetmetal screws. To attach the grate all you need to do is hold the grate vertically, rotate it forward, and snap it over the cross bar on the wire guard on the Buddy. It makes a very solid attachment, and can be attached and removed in less than 5 seconds. (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Hey OldFox, I have that exact same grate and the buddy heater with the fold down handle, so I am planning on making what you have made. I was just wondering if you had tried cooking on that yet and if there were any problems with the handle melting.
or just buy a propane grill for 25 dollars
I would think you wouldnt want to interfere with the buddy's main purpose...heating you!
yeah, cause everyone here wants to have to haul even more gear out on the ice.
