    Nah, I just found the oven grate and soup can rig interesting. I'm much more comfortable with my camp stoves.

    I've given up on trying to master the new electric stove. I got it to please the ladies when they cook for me on holidays. I don't need it. I've always got some new stove to test. Got two new ones this week. One tri-fuel Optimus 111 Hiker and an export model Coleman butane from Korea.

    1000000184.
    I like the convenience and safety of butane.

    True that on the propane . And I did notice the soup cans holding the oven rack ,, pretty good idea . That's common sense thinking ,, instead of overthinking ,,, if that makes sense,,,

    lots of bang sticks. my friend is a gun dealer and took care of them. a lifetime of head mounts. he was a interesting guy. one eye. he picked up clients from the train often. amazing how much stuff we acquire in a life time.

    Beware that a snow plough is rough on the drive train and whole frame of the vehicle. I lived in Big Bear Lake California and lots of guys after a few years end up with junk trucks using them ploughing snow. Don't be generous with it's work.

    I pushed snow in reverse with an 8N Ford tractor. Was far easier to control in the deep snow.

    I like how the end is cut out of the tub. Hopefully that'll help just shove the snow out as more gets scooped up.

    Best snow removal rig I ever saw was on the airfield in Norway. Huge wide blade on an enormous articulated tractor that could hydraulically fold the ends of the blade inward, packing in the snow. Then they could lift these huge blocks of snow and stack them. Must've had to read the weather conditions just right, but they made us some snow piles that we dug monster snow forts into.

    Couldn't do much for ice that was already on the runway from the constant thaw/freeze cycle as we learned when our British Airways transport slid sideways off the runway after landing.

    the fastest was to destroy a rig is put a plow on it. at least the way i plow. 91 dodge 1 ton, push, pull or drag anything. i want plates that say timex. takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
