Maybe in the back yard then , I think a nice rack over the boiler might be good for burgers, hot dogs & ribs.😋
I know....given the ordeal(s) you've been through lately , tell Jen  it would make a great back up power source...it has a hundred years service record.

I'm with you on this one Jim .... that's a real beauty!

Too bad Jenny doesn't have an "eye" for this sort of thing, but you are not alone in having a mate who can't see the beauty for the rivets!!!  ;c)
