Brilliant idea!!
I shall make on of those then - defo.
What to do with the big hole though. Do you have to control heat loss from it or just leave it open? I found an empty tin can fits over it loosely. I don't know if tin can be welded to steel but, if it can then a sort of chimney could be made with a flap on the inside to control exhaust. Might be able to solder it on.
Finally managed to get the lid off yesterday.
There was some rubbish inside including a bunch of rubber gloves. All cleared and wiped out.
The weather looks to be good this weekend and I'm going to go for The Big Burn. Have to fetch in some pallets - maybe as many as 10 - maybe more.
Thanks again Doc
