older vets will remember this metal
I dunno... I'm just a sucker for things that work, and try to find
"legitimate uses" for things that are just neat to have; so.... I stumbled across a VN-era gasoline "trashcan" immersion water heater in NOS packaging for about $50 including shipping. Had to have it. It arrived last night -- 50lb of iron, partly Parkerized, smeared with cosmoline, and with the full step-chart tech manual inside. It took me about a half-hour to refamiliarize myself with it and get it assembled. Then it took another half-hour to bring a 32-gallon trash can full of 50 degree water to a full rolling boil. Just the thing for hurricane season power outages, for washing dishes and bodies. LLoyd |
