Cooking on the "Red Devil" at Arakino - January 1999 We camped at small site on the coast at Arakino right beside a vast sweeping black beach which we looked good for surf casting but we did not have time to try our luck. The camp site was sheltered, cheap at $6 a head and well equipped with plenty of fridge space etc - one to return to.

We tried out the "Red Devil" and it was a great success at grilling steaks - it works with a domed and perforate plate over a burner so that the fat which drips is incinerated under the food giving a very effective barbeque effect with little expenditure of gas and our three steaks looked lost on the 15" diameter grill.

A lovely sunset over Mt Egmont just visible across the bay and close to a hundred kilometers away rounded off the day - it is good to be back under canvas.
