Re: BBQs
A few modifications to my Weber Go Anywhere.
Chopped the cooking grate to let it fit inside the unit, and allow a bunch of other stuff to be carried within it too.
Whilst I had the angle grinder out I rubbed down the corners of the charcoal grate that sits on the bottom. This allows it to sit as low as possible meaning a few extra mm of height for carrying stuff.
I've also made a charcoal basket from a steel loaf tin. Hopefully enough holes but I could always add a few more. The cooking grate fits over this and it also fits into the unit with the lid on, along with everything else, as well as an additional load of charcoal (the first one being inside the chimney).

Re: BBQs
We have done since we bought a tent, which required a trailer (and hence a towbar)! So most of the big kit lives in the trailer, which should make packing easier, so the icea of camping for a weekend feels easier. Will test that tomorrow night as we haven't started packing yet for Friday.

Re: BBQs
Update. It certainly made it easier to clean the BBQ after use and the charcoal burned well in it, but with the number of holes I'd drilled- fewer in the sides than the bottom - there was very much a focus on direct heat directly above the tin with less heat on the indirect side than having the coals loose (not surprising really). Maybe the tin needs to be made a bit wider and shorter, or will be good for piling in coals for a longer cook.
