Where we live we have 100’s of thousands of acres of public lands, state wide I think there are more public acres than private. Anyway these lands go from low foothills to mountain tops. But the lower “adobe” public ground get all kinds of people who think that it is their private dumping grounds. They dump everything from tree trimmings to concrete steps, old televisions or refrigerators all appliances actually. It’s a constant clean up by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) people go out to these places to shoot and they have no lack in targets, lol. It’s sad, especially since our landfill is not expensive at all and is a short drive…..
At any rate I cruse these locations and pick up brass for reloading so I’m around often. Couple days ago I found an old fuel tank someone dumped. It’s 12’ long, 40” in diameter and at least 3/16” thick but might be 1/4”. Ends have been cut off so it just a big piece of pipe. I’m going tomorrow morning with the backhoe and forks to pick it up and bring it home, help clean the public grounds and give me free steel to build a couple smokers, big smokers, lol.
I’m thinking a vertical wood/charcoal smoker and possibly a whole hog cooker. What the heck, the main body is free.
