Intriguing...not because it's a great idea, but I want it to be photoshopped, not real. looks like a nice '84, (air feed ports in hood by hood lights-pic #2),but to be used for that??
no sign of tow-hitch for taking it to bbq location. no grass difference around wheels-must be mobile. I'm surethat bbq box gets HOT, so that could have an effect on any plastic/fiberglass in it's immediate surroundings. why risk a fire? weird! I love a mystery......



Shakedown067, bbq dispensers...HA! good one!

Believe me...be thankful. Imagine how I've felt being in the Honda crowd. They take your statement to the MAX and I catch the hell for it.

I believe they use the hood vents to control heat when they are smoking turkeys & hams and the hood is down.
