SC - a grid?

[Alderton, Philippa]

Vika,

Tell me what size you want, and I'll make you one- also, how high you want
it off the ground. Don't send me a check until I have it done- I tend to
procrastinate a bit- I'll let you know when it's done- might try to make it
this week, if I run up and get the steel- but I need to know the size you
want before I get the steel.

As far as steel barrels, I'm not sure what you'd find in your area. I happen
to have an unlimited source of those and food grade plastic barrels near me,
but that doesn't help you much. I'd try asking at your local junk yards- if
they don't have them, they'd likely know who might. Just be careful of what
they were previously use for- you don't need to be making a cooking fire in
one that used to contain hydrogen cyanide, for example ;-) Also, Puck or
Margali are fairly close to you- they might have a clue, or be able to find
you one the Navy is throwing out.

Brandu, I think it was, gave you pretty good advice on seasoning cast iron-
follow it. We seasoned a skillet at Pennsic last year. My memory of my
blister impels me to warn you that when taking it off the heat, make very
sure you have a good hot pad between your hands and the pan ;-) And, as I
said, if you still need help at Pennsic, c'mon down, and we'll help you with
it.
