Morning back dave. In my pic I just was placing the blocks so I could visual see what I want. The building actually is the back of my local pub... which is where I plan to do this roast. I do have some grass area behind the building, however it belongs to railroad commish, and I really dont care to break any felonies using thier land. However, this is a whole lot of loose dirt I will be placing underneath the pit once i do the actual cook.
I like the idea of raising it up too
I also worry about the grease staining the concrete. I would hate for the landlord to freak out. But with some sand, a blacket of foil to help with the grease. I think I should be fine. I also have some roofing tin, maybe put that on top of sand or even layer.. sand, the metal tin.. more sand, then foil?
i have a month to plan... so I might mess with your idea of raising it just to be safe. Trying to do on a cheap budget... but like you say, cutting a 6x8' concrete block out and replacing it sounds alot more expensive than some cheap 2" pavers... thanks for the idea., Ill keep ya posted on what I go with
MIke
