Damian Smith, "Daymo" approached us to design and supply their flagship portable Kettle cooker, with the goal to solve a common problem: traditional kettle BBQs are heavy, bulky, and limited to grilling.
The solution? The Adventure Q, a compact cooking powerhouse delivering seven cooking functions in one elegant system: grilling, roasting, steaming, boiling, baking, casseroling, and slow-cooking. Small but mighty, it works everywhere from backyards to remote campsites.
Our product design approach focused on multi-functional excellence:
Cast Aluminium with Premium Coating: We selected cast aluminium for lightweight durability and specified German-made non-stick coating for exceptional longevity.
Universal Compatibility: The bonded stainless steel base works on gas, induction, hotplates, and ovens, cook anywhere without limitations.
Smart Heat Control: Our dome lid with integrated vent control delivers authentic BBQ smoke or delicate steaming with precision.
Compact Storage: Every component nests inside the BBQ pan essential for space-conscious travelers.
We developed two product options to suit different needs:
Original Pack: BBQ pan, dome lid with vent, steamer rack, and storage bag—everything to get started.
Ultimate Pack: All Original Pack components plus glass casserole lid, silicone handles, tongs, spatula, and heavy-duty canvas carry bag.
Our industrial design process identified four critical challenges with traditional camping cookware:
The 22cm cooking surface handles 2-8 people depending on the cooking method—from two steaks to a casserole serving eight.
Our manufacturing standards ensure years of reliable use:
This reflects our core philosophy: design products that deliver value over years, not months.
As Daymo's design and supply partner, we delivered comprehensive support:
This full-service approach transforms ideas into market-ready products that succeed commercially.
Users report excellent results across diverse cooking scenarios—from seared steaks and BBQ ribs to steamed dumplings, casseroles, and even breakfast pancakes. The Ultimate Pack delivers everything needed for restaurant-quality meals anywhere: beachside, mountaintop, or home kitchen.
The Adventure Q showcases our mission at hone.pd: solve real problems through thoughtful design and quality manufacturing. We challenged assumptions about portable cooking equipment and created something genuinely innovative—versatile, lightweight, and built to last.
This project demonstrates the value of partnering with a team that understands both the technical and commercial aspects of bringing products to market. From initial concept to customer delivery, we deliver results.
