That things looks like a real heater, much more than we would ever use in south Texas.

Before the end of the auction I offered the guy $75 for the rig...I figured it would be a cool thing to fire up at the Weare Rally.

I can just see this baby puffing out gobs of black smoke with a 24 inch flame coming out of the back like a WWII 'doodle bug". For $75 it would provide good entertainment. :lol:

....he came back with a counter offer of $250.

Being the cheap SOB that I am it is not $250 funny.

Not cheap, just smart. I could not see that kind of money for that contraption either.
