    GAS Cook Top breakdown

    Picked up this gas cook top last night, mainly wanted it for the galvanised backing tray, they make an awesome oil drip pan for the garage floor!!


    Anyway, thought I would do a quick breakdown for y'all.

    (appologies, my phone isn't the greatest camera...)


    Cook top - Weight 12kg (would be 14kg with the grill bars still on..)


    Top.



    Bottom. (showing galvanised tray)




    Bottom with tray removed




    I removed the Alluminium gas piping, burner housings, and burner rings, then removed the Brass gas jets, and brass taps and wire.


    Tools used...
    1 x 6in Adjustable wrench
    1 x Philips No2 screwdriver
    1 x Flat 5.0mm Screwdriver
    1 x Right arm



    Here is what is left.


    Alluminium - 1.4kg ($1.54 value)




    Brass - 1.00kg ($3.50 value)






    Wire (from ignitor circuits) 0.15kg $0.17 value




    Steel - 9.45kg $1.13 value





    So at current local rates, Total metals value is $6.34


    Cost me 10 mins of my time.. Worth it?? up to you..

    I did it just because I could,

    Thanks
