I have to patch a few areas at edge of my asphalt driveway that
cracked off. 10+ years ago put similar asphalt chunks in a couple of
aluminum trays in an old BBQ to 300F, and then placed and compacted
them by hand. But I dont have an old BBQ anymore and the missus
refuses (on principle) to let me use the current BBQ (even though it
would all be FULLY contained in aluminum trays). I have an infrared
thermometer. So, thought about using the fire pit, but I suspect
Id have a very difficult time trying not to overcook the asphalt.
Anyone ever success with this before? Seems a shame to have to switch
to a coldpatch repair while I have all this perfectly reusable asphalt
lying around, and time is on my side. Advice appreciated.
Regards,
Theodore

Ignore the Mrs. What does she know about home repairs? Does she let you
you tell her how to clean the house?
