Thrift Store Find

[infiniteslip]

Hey all! Check out what I found browsing around the thrift store the other day. I think it's a broiler pan but I got it for my coals. It's pretty awesome. The top tray has holes in it so I can drop the coals on it to ash them then shake it a little and all the ash falls through to the bottom. So there's a clean surface to ash the coals on every time. And since the top tray is raised up about an inch, I can leave coals on it and set it on the table or floor without the bottom getting really hot like the cookie sheet I was using.





It was pretty funny when I bought it cuz I was telling my friend how I could use it. I went to the register and the middle age cashier was like "I kinda overheard you talking. What exactly are you planning on using this for?"

I was thinking "oh great, I'm gonna say hookah and I wonder what she's gonna think." So I told her I was going to use it as an ash tray for my hookah coals.

She said "oh yea, I've traveled to the Middle East and Egypt a couple times. I've smoked hookah there. This will work great for your coals"!!!!! hahahaha, my friend and I were both pretty surprised!

Those things you put underneath flower pots work well. Dont absorb the heat very much.

I use pie tins. They have the added benefit of being full of pie when bought new!
