New toy for new ideas

As the title, I have some ideas that I want to play with so the wife brought me this little piece of equipment to play with as a Christmas present. Spent an hour setting it all up as the metal cradle needed bending into shape as well as being bolted together, then the bottom brick(under the fireproof piece of material) needed a very slight sanding to get a nice fit.

Now let the fun begin

Some years ago I was fortunate enough to get about 10 of the white reflective fire bricks. I just stack up a few into a makeshift hearth when I need to heat something up. Unlike the old style bricks these reflect much of the heat and cool rapidly after use.

I need to get and finish a piece I started before Christmas before having a play.
