Not the radiator grill; the important grill.

Problem:
The heat in my grill is so uneven that some places burn while other places leave the food raw.

Solution:
Broaden the diffuser plate by welding additional diffuser plates to the original.
I used a trim piece off of our old kitchen range, cut in half. I used 1/4" rod to bridge across all three diffusers.

I cooked some deer sausage on it to test it out, and it worked like a dream. Even heat everywhere, even where it used to be cold. Hot dogs will be a good test. Maybe I will do some more "testing" tomorrow.



Here is a shot with the grate removed.

did you ever think about inventing something?

Leatherman.

i bet i know where it came from to! just look at his title "the swiss army truck"

You gave me the Leatherman a few years ago, Josh. One of the best gifts I have gotten in a long time.

oh i was thinking of the one you found in your rockers!

I forgot about that one. It literally came with the truck.

Here is a pic of my rocker panel with the bondo removed. You can see a cheap leatherman that was hidden in there.

when I'm on a ship I use my leatherman all the time. just don't let people borrow it, they'll break it.
