I'd think it'd be cool! Might have to have it hot-tanked to remove the 15 or so coats of paint, no doubt half of which are lead based. Repaint with the hi-temp stuff.
Dunno how large the removal door is on those, but you'd want complete access to the racks- Might need to remove and hinge the entire "square" front portion. Would need a plate/waterpan setup, and perhaps a slide in firebox below.

didnt get the thickness. I actually thought when I looked at it that it was alot lighter than I thought it would be , but seemed solid. this is a real old school one and HAS a full hinged door on the front . Come to think about it I didnt notice a drop slot. Maybe this was used for some other purpose. says U.S. Mail on the side ( and covered in graffiti )
