I got bored... needed something to tinker with. So, I did what every male with a case of the shack nasties would do; I went out to the garage. While standing there, looking around and taking inventory, I looked up into the rafters and what did I see? An old metal sliding board from an old swing set, that had been up there since before I moved into the place. Bingo! I have found my project...
What the heck would someone do with an old sliding board, you ask? Make a coal lighting chimney, of course!
I needed something large enough to light a good pile of lump charcoal. Everything I've seen locally was too small, more geared toward briquets. Necessity is the mother of invention! I might have gone overboard a bit, but that's okay, this thing will hold some charcoal!
As you can see, it is not quite finished yet. I still need to add some holes, legs and the bottom grate. I'll post more when it's done...
