There ya go. I like to cook in old ice boxes..but the Warden say it
looks a bit too ghetto to have the defunct appliances laying around in
the yard. What does your boss say?




I used the theory of; start off big-N-ugly with a 55 gallon barrel, so
an appliance white used gas stove is prettier, she was in.

But to appease her vision of yardly beauty, I'm on the look out for a
stainless steel used gas stove.

I'm sooo impressed with the sweet way it cooks I am never going to use
any other cooker. Here is a pic...

That is genius. Please keep us up to date on your progress. Best idea
I've read here in years.

Looks great. Smart thinking on that one. Bet a person might could even put a electric element in the bottom on that puppy and get rid on the nasty old charcoal. Broke down SS restaurant stoves are prob fairly inexpensive. Had a pal who could have got anything a person might want along that line in his long tour as official Maintenance Man for the famous Waffle House chain. He dont work there any longer so that deal it out..lol. Maybe you could make friends with a guy like that? Would also not hurt to bug some of the used restaurant supply places. Course they tend to be proud of their stuff so dont get a skinning on it.

It would be easy to modify with whatever you wanted inside the bottom
drawer, for sure. But I like my Kingsford. I do have the desire to
temporarily add an electric pan to do some cold smoking in the future.

As insulated as that puppy bound to be should be just fine for cooking stuff too. Not sure why anybody would like Kingsford. Mighty nasty and evil stuff.
