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
