High Grant,

Down in Auburn by the RR tracks the contractor is selling 48" Dia pipe
leftovers from the gas pipeline they just installed. Don't know the
price.

I just got back from Alaska and brought a cooler full of frozen salmon
and a case of smoked salmon. Good eats:-)

OK, I'm going to sound like a lovestruck baby, but I took a local
blacksmithing class this weekend (my first ever) and oh boy does
this open up a whole new vista! Anyway, this isn't a blacksmithing
plug. I'm now seriously into 3 things that I can see merging into
a really great project.

Cooking, machining, and blacksmithing. Barbecue/smoker, anyone?

Seems like there has *got* to be a to-die-for BBQ design out there
that you need to know about metal cutting/welding/propane orifices/
piping/forging/cooking to pull off right. Maybe electrical too if
the design had a rotisserie mode.

Anyone know of a really cool design? Maybe start with a leftover
chunk of Alaska Pipeline (well not that big, that stuff was 48"OD)
or some other pipe, put a perfect cut on it with a plasma cutter,
forge some really cool handles and stand, you get the idea.
