3dP Cut down barrel
If you saw Brett's email update this afternoon you probably saw that he's offering a a 3d printed barrel cut down on a stand...wow, did that bring back memories....
In Vietnam we generally had Sunday afternoons off from our construction duties and many Company cook-outs were held. The preferred 'grill' of choice was a cut down 55 gal drum on angle iron legs. The attached pic doesn't show the drum very well but that's just like Brett's version.
btw...the steaks were acquired by trading plywood to the Marines for the steaks. Grilling in the mud was typical. For the benefit of any Marines looking in the photo was taken at An Hoa (ann whaa) Combat Base 1968. My friend Geno is the grill-meister and I'm still in contact with him.
Thanks for the memory, Brett
