Default Hows this for a BBQ?

If you happen to have a spare Caterpillar V8 engine block, just laying around at home, why not put it to good use? Sorry if its a re-post!

Wouldnt want to have to move it around though. Would weigh a tonne (well a couple hundred kilos anyway). Thats as good as the couches made from XY and Monaro boots. I think someone made bbqs from them too.

I’ve seen photos of a similar set up, although it was steel where they had twin 4 inch exhaust stacks at the back so all of the smoke from the fire would come out of them. Pretty cool.

I'll try to dig them up.
