[TheForge] Large Kettle

[Tod Estes]

Thats a good Idea, the Kettle and the letting everyone else describe how to do
it safely. I saw several large kettles sell at an auction. The large steel one
went for $200.00 the smaller cast ones went from $100 to $300. My friend that
does outdoor cooking demos gave me a Agri-Supply catalog that had new cast iron
kettles ranging from $54.95 for the 10 gallon to $349.95 for the 90 gallon
model. Of course you have to add for shipping. Agri Supply's website is
www.agri-supply.com I have not checked out the site yet but the catalog has all
sorts of goodies.
