A barbecue is sooooooo much better than a picnic. Thing is, those disposable bbq’s you can buy just are a bit naff really aren’t they – besides you have to find a bin once you’ve finished with them.
Well, looking like a metallic man-bag, here’s the Darwin BBQ.
Once you’ve found the perfect place to pitch – just open up the carry case into a triangle to reveal an ash pan and grill.
There’s room enough for 3 or 4 burgers so a decent barbecue for two. The ash pan is removable for easy cleaning – just remember to let it cool before moving off again 
As it says on IWOOT’s site:
Brilliant briefcase-style design, sturdy steel construction and one of the easiest ways to have a barbecue this summer. The Darwin BBQ is an evolution in barbecuing (groan).
£19.99 must be a bargain! I reckon a perfect buy for festivals, camping, walking, fishing and, of course, those romantic grill-outs

Looking for a virtually indestructible acoustic guitar?
Blackbird’s Rider Nylon guitar is really made of carbon fiber; it’s the strings that are nylon – don’t ask me why it’s not named the Rider CF!
Blackbird says that the Rider is “nearly indestructible” so that should make it pretty much the perfect travel guitar.
The unusual material has meant altering the style from a more traditional shape.
As you can see: it’s far squarer, and the sound hole has moved up to the neck, and been renamed a “soundscoop” instead. This, apparently, makes for a better sound response.
The other side-effect is that it’s light enough at 3-pounds to fit into an aircraft overhead locker.
There is also a steel-stringed version but these carbon fiber axes aint what you’d class as budget strummers:
Nylon string model is $1,900 and the smaller steel-stringed version is $1,600.
They’ll be grinnin’ while you’ll be pickin’ boy!
