| it ain't here yet, but gonna bite the bullet and buy one of them wood lawn sheds and have it set up on my lower deck. think'in size of 8x16 or 10x18. my lower deck is 16x16. it'll house the freezer, flat top grill, shelving for all the old ladys….oooops….I mean the loving wifes holiday stuff she puts up outside, and winter storage for lawn cushions and stuff. trying to decide if I should insulate it or not? I have a Quonset fabric shelter there now, it's only about 6x10. it sure is nice to sit in when the wind is blowing and i'm waiting for the dogs to gits done sniffing and pooping each outing. any of ya'll have your grills inside anything for grilling out of the weather? i'm sure some use your garages. I ain;t gots one of them. |

| if'n I grill...i'll do that outside cuz of all the smoke. the flat top don't smoke when cooking. and the smoker will also be outside, but out of the wind. plus I can keep my spices and other cooking goodies out there prolly ina cupboard. along with my cast iron stuff and can hang my tools up that I use. right now everything is in a plastic container that is a pain. it sucks that all them sheds have the roofs draining the rain water right above the door. guess i'll hafta fab a rain gutter. I asked the dealer to make the roof slat the other way and he refuses to ask the manuf. PffffT! |

| Insulate and add a window to the back. If you don't it gets unbearably hot in the summer. |

And cut a hole in the wall for AC, plumb in a sink and stool, wire up the place, heat tape the water lines, add electric heat. Then all ya need is a new TV, a new recliner, a fridge, a cot and call her a day.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

Build a short piece of roof over the door....I'd have to see it, but it can be done. Why don't YOU go to the manufacturer and ask questions. I do that all the time. If I don't get the answer I want, or don't like the answer I do get, I go to the higher up and it usually comes back with; "That's a great idea, and it makes a lot of sense." Sometimes I get some perks with those type of things too. You gotta take the bull by the horn. Some of these managers are scared to death of losing their jobs. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

I always thought it would be nice to have one of those set up for a summer kitchen. Heck with going out to grill when the winds comin in at 40MPPH and the temp is below 0. I'd like to have a gas stove out side so I can keep the canning heat out of the house in the summer. Guess it would be nice to have a warm shop to tinker in in weather like this weeks, but I can get by doing the cookin indoors in this kind of weather  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| that's what I do outside in summer, it does help keep the house cooler in the summer, and if'n i'm outta the wind in the winter, the grill kinda warms the tent we have out there now, but the smoke gits to me. if'n I puts one of them sheds out there...i'll use the flat top grill, it don't smoke when grilling on it. we can cook our steaks and other meat in the house, helps with heating too, but that grilled flavor just isn't there! |

| it was our charring grill, good thing it didn't get my new flat top grill, that one was sitting about 2 ft from where the limb fell...I would have been a tad bit upset if that one got it. |

Well, now you get to save money!! You don't have to buy the wood lawn shed. You get to fix the porch first. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Here's my outdoor mud stove: https://flic.kr/p/SksBmJ" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/SksBmJ" rel="nofollow - mudstovewhole by https://www.flickr.com/photos/147103123@N05/" rel="nofollow - vwfatmobile , on FlickrIt's made of clay, sand and some straw,.. called cob. Works great for summer canning. Fire goes near the door, fry pan for sauteing mushrooms, garlic and onions. The second pot is for all the rest of the ingredients. 3rd pot is for canning. The fire can be pushed back under the pot that is getting used. Chimney is a propane water heater that's plumbed to outdoor kitchen sink. And to the house so I can take a hot shower after a long hot days canning. It's called a Lorena stove but most of them don't look like mine. |

That little fatty likes to photobomb. Here's a link to a post with some mudstove info on it: https://www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10974" rel="nofollow - https://www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10974 This is a mud stove/oven with more build pics: https://www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11982" rel="nofollow - https://www.vwdieselparts.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11982 They both have a base made of large pieces of urbanite. 2 layers. Then a tub of urbanite filled with clay, sand and rocks directly under the fire. Cob-coated clay bricks make the firebox walls. Metal bars span the top to support it while it drys. Barrel stove doors work great, still bolted to the top of the barrel. Lift a pot off the top and you can see that the flames are in direct contact with the bottom of the pot. Because of the mass it takes awhile to heat up, but once it does you can put a roast and some vegys in the canner and come back 3 hours later to a good meal. Improvements? I used to think each hole should fit the special pot for it,.. because that's how everyone else did it. Made the holes deep. Now I try to make the top almost flat with the pot sitting on top and holes that will work with several pots or a wok. I'll be using more layers of brick to make the sides higher, the taller firebox provides more room for the hoe to get in there to move wood and remove ashes. Might put a rocket stove under the skillet hole on the next one. So it heats up faster or if I just want to use the skillet. The final coat is sifted sand and clay, with a cup or 2 of hydrated lime per 5 gallon bucket,.. 3/4 full. Linseed oil seems to seal it up and protect it from the weather better than some of the other things I've tried. |
