My dad was sick of me lugging around the 20 gallon propane tank when traveling with the egg. He machined a couple adapters that fit the weed burner to a propane bottle.

The only ash rake I've ever had, could not recall where I got his stuff until this past week when I had to replace a 40 year old garage door opener - it is the support angle used to position the motor unit.
Grandson was responsible for the colour coded electrical tape wrapped handle.
This also thin and strong enough to slide under pick up a plate setter when used with some old channel locks.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -

Sorry about that....combination of Jeremiah's comment / picture above (Car with air conditioner in back window).....and Jason (Theyolksonyou)'s cooks / dranking last weekend in the garage with the wife gone.

Terra cotta plant saucer instead of pizza stone for indirect. $7. It held up well at temps up to 600. My dog recently knocked it off the shelf and broke it.

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
...these have gone up in price but I got it for $6 a couple of years ago.
