Kadesma, he's making it for the son-in-law and his buddies at the volunteer fire department up the road, in the tiny farm town of St. Peter, Il. They cook for a lot of fairs and special events.

Sweeeeeeeettttttt!! I grew up in a small town in Iowa, and I remember our Fire Department had one of these for big events as well. But not nearly as nice as this one, it was much more simpler. They could grill on it or set up the griddle on it and do their pancake breakfast, that was about it.
So, very nice!

Outstanding!

That is pretty much what I envisioned for our Club (Moose). They want something for direct heat grilling in stead of smoking so ours would have fire grates and ash doors.

For some reason they have been resistant, I hope because they can't 'see it' and not because of organizational inertia.

FWIW anhydrogenous ammonia tanks are very similar to if not the same as propane tanks. If someones thinking of doing this condemned propane tanks are available. Once you know how to inert them they are not a danger.
