Bootes (The Herdsman) is a development from the 6 Elements Outdoor Living team in answer to a call for a flat pack barbeque that would be functional, robust, rugged and cool.
Bootes has been specifically designed for the many VW campervan and outdoor living fans out there who wanted a barbeque that could be flat packed and stored in the back of a campervan, car or a kayak when it was not needed.
The brand came up with the appropriate title - BOOTES (as that’s where they figured it will generally be stored).
Bootes is constructed from 7 accurately cut plates that each interlock and slot together to create a self-supporting structure. A central stud is locked at each end to create a completely solid and safe mini barbeque structure.
Suggested Use
Bootes has been designed for maximum functionality with a minimal flat pack footprint for ultimate compact storage in your campervan, car, boat, canoe, kayak or backpack.
We suggest use in outdoor pursuits like camping, cycling, hiking, kayak trips, fishing expeditions and also for general beach/seaside days out.
Thanks to its extreme hygiene, environmental resistance, functionality, simple transportation and minimal biodegradable waste (ash), it is a functional and ecological travel companion.
Fuel Usage
Bootes has been designed for use with small to medium pieces of lumpwood and briquette charcoal to cook edible food.
We advise having about 0.25kg of charcoal available per cook session.
Smoking chips are always a good addition to the embers during cooking to obtain your required flavour.
Thin pieces of wood kindling can also be used as fire starter fuel but during live flame it may be likely to be too hot to cook on due to the initial intense heat release of wood.
Creating a bed of embers with wood (and charcoal) to then cook over is ideal.
The bay windows on the Bootes end faces can also be used to add fuel carefully during the cooking process without having to remove the grill plate.
Assembly
The Bootes assembly build time is within 5 minutes from flat pack to complete assembly.
The construction takes shape by interlocking certain plates together to support each other and then securing the end plates with a central locking stud for ultimate safety during barbeque and food cooking use.
All relevant assembly instructions for the most efficient build process is supplied with each product pack.
