one old truck tire rim to use as base for unit
One large webber grill, top and bottom
one small webber grill, top only
one coleman 10,000 btu burner
5 quart cast iron dutch oven and lid
Cut hole in bottom of large webber grill to fit coleman heater attachment
Cut top out of smaller webber cover to fit over dutch oven to hold heat in
dutch oven sits directly on coleman burner
small webber top covers the dutch oven
the large webber grill top then covers the unit, as normal, to further keep the heat in (att.# 2)

Another faze in it's life. The original Weber grill which was the first portable BBQ grill was made out of a metal Buoy and now you have started a new line.

nice thinking there.
should be pretty efficient with the heat.

.............That's some nifty re-cycleing! Just think, there's more and more folks these days that the only things they can figure out is the TV remote and the lever on the side of their recliner :-)

Good idea for heat shields and such!
It should work pretty good- I use one of those burners on the bench top occassionally to melt recovered range lead in a small cast iron 5 lb. pot.
It heats up pretty fast.
I would adapt it to a 20 lb. tank though- it will use up the 1 lb. cylinders f-a-s-t on that large of a pot.

Sorry i forgot to say it does run off a large tank of Propain..
