I can relate to the seat warmer ever since our young dog decided that she likes to drive or at least take command
when we go out to feed. :roll:
Jumps up onto the platform and proceeds to squeeze in behind me on the seat. Cozy, to say the least.
The pics of that trough remind me of the troughs we had when I was growing up. Ours had the wood heater inside the trough though, and needed to be tended pretty regularily.
If you had our weather it would take a lot more than that fire to get that ice into liquid form!
Thanks for sharing.
I have an internal propane shove with a thermocouple that would work pretty good for you Jeff. My guess is a 20lb bottle would last you all winter. We could get a week out of it here.
