galvanized screen: BAD idea. when sufficiently hot, it will release zinc fumes and make you ill.

Sweet idea! I think this would be a great summer prodject for use in the fall when it gets more windy and fires are allowed in most areas.

Here it says to use galvanized screen. When heated it can release some chemicals that you don’t want on your food or to be breathing in. I don’t know how hot this can get, but its better safe than sorry.

Impressive invention!! Troop 33 is really on the ball. Are there any other inventions they’ve done? How about a video to purchase with not so close-up photos? Thanks for the instructions..really cool!

It is easier than it looks. Using 2 old mailboxes (as our troop did) is the way to go. Why buy new when you can recycle. There were a couple of holes in our old mailboxes which did not affect performance, they added character. THANKS! How about some recipes?

It’s too bad these aren’t sold in stores. I would buy 2 of them; one for my troop and the other for my family and me!
