Came across this Choofer website.

http://www.thekingaroychoofer.com.au

I like how they have done, what a lot of us here could have done, if we extracted the digit.

Building a business out of the good Ol' Choofer  Smiley

I wouldn't buy one because I have made my own, but for those that are not handy, or just plain lazy, the price looks OK to me.

My Choofer is my most used piece of camping equipment.

Here is a video.  Part of it is from the TV Show, Better Homes & Gardens.

It used to be called the Kingaroy Pig.

Like you Rick we have a home made one. Good on him if he has made a business out of making and selling them.

You can understand the name change.

I noticed the pig name when reading the testimonies  Cool

Not sure why they originally called it a pig. No resemblance what so ever.

Also noticed the advice regarding the seasoning of the pot belly black paint.

Would be interesting to know if this works? Any one tried it?

That is a nice looking stew that Fast Ed put together  Smiley Smiley

Should get him to join up here and join in the Challenges  Cheesy Cheesy

Courtesy of Bill Winters my Kingaroy Choofer has arrived by mail and I am really impressed.  I have the high stand to sit it on that Bill sells so can use it just outside the back door on the lawn.

Going to use Heat Beads for seasoning the pot belly black paint as recommended.

Watch this space as soon as we get settled after the big trip home.
