When I first saw it I thought '' now why does yogi need a cannon ''  but then it all became clear  ;D , looks interesting to say the least, will give you a ring mate and might stop over this weekend for a look and drop off some dollars  :cheers:

Yogi,

make sure you fit some form of spark arrestor to the top of the flue, otherwise the NPWS rangers might get cranky ..... I used some of that stainless gauze like on gas stove toasters, but have also seen perforated mesh used.

Looks the goods tho!

Cheers Chippy :D

Nice Work , but I know that photography can sometimes play tricks on how big things look and how big they really are ....

For the sake of us all sitting around it , I'm hoping you have used one of those massive gas tanks you see over in the far corner at the Servo , or one like on the gas truck that drives around ....   :laugh: :laugh:

I'm planning on having prime position  :angel:

Don't forget everyone if you want to enjoy the warmth of the 'Pigs' don't forget to bring some milled wood, heat beads or fire logs (Red Head in one manufacturer)   ;D

So you can secure it to the ground with a couple of pegs if need be .... as I want to use it under my awning on the camper and I don't want it moving and burning the canvas .... lol

I love the design...

What did you do the cutting with? Angle grinder or Jig saw?
