patches Posted February 20, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2013 Another Gem from one of those Army Magazines I have from the 60s, this one from October 1964. A Pod like thing, I wonder if this was resurrected for more trials by the 9th Inf Div's test bed stuff back in my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SG_1st_Cav Posted February 20, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2013 Looks like a large Barbeque Grill! Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 20, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 20, 2013 Looks to be based on the Chinese-style wheelbarrow with the wheel in the center. Interesting how there isn't much that is new under the sun, only variations on what was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny HA HA, good one Danny, I bet if you just published the one photo of the two Green Berets carrying this thing without a caption, one would conclude that they are indeed carrying a B-QUE Grill.

BigMoose Posted February 21, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 21, 2013 Does anyone have any doubt that in the field these things would have been turned into BBQ grils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted February 21, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 21, 2013 I'll bet it is loads of fun to roll it up a steep and rocky hill. It is probably great on a paved road or cement side walk. Maybe even not to bad on a flat dirt trail. The fun starts when the rain comes and the mud gets going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccyooper Posted February 22, 2013 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2013 Having spent time a lot of time around SF guys it probable was being used for a barbaque grille. As Craig mentioned.. a couple of times up and down hills and that piece ended up in the back of a CONEX somewhere or at a pig roast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datil_Mountain_Muse Posted March 23, 2013 Share #9 Posted March 23, 2013 A fiberglass BBQ grille? DOn't think it would hold up too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
