I know they are something like 280 I was thinking of making a big A$$ grill out of one already have a USD ( ugly drum smoker )and scrapping the other. That's a pretty nice pit how'd you make the rotis ?

We don't have rotis on ours. The one in the picture is just the closest picture I could find. oh you are right. The one weight I found on line was 290#. They always seemed lighter than that.

I'd have charged him $10 to haul them out of the field, you'll be lucky to break even, then you'll be out the gas money. Look at the big picture, it's just scrap, it ain't gold!
