Very good!

However, I do believe it is a Greenpeace environmentally safe Gopher removal tool. Place exhaust on gopher hole, start engine, use catchers mitt to catch gopher when it reenters atmosphere after exiting secondary gopher hole

ps I am sure Alex knows what it is

Hi Sean..
Glad to hear from you..
When I first saw this picture ,I thought I recognized it so I called my brother in N.S and sure enough it was as I remembered it..
This unit was put together from war surplus bits and pieces by an old fellow out of Bible Hill ,Nova Scotia...
When Debert closed down after the war and lots of other military equipment came for sale ,the old lad picked these pieces up and mated them together and used it as a heating unit for a combination fish smoker and still he had going ,back home in Bible Hill.
What the picture dosen't show is the unit itself,which is a trailer mounted unit complete with 1200 gallon product trailer ...that he towed behind the Valentine...
I was just a young lad when I first came across the outfit back in the bush hunting rabbits and there was the old lad cooking away..

I wouldn't be surprised if Brad Mills would back me on that one..
That is right in Brad's back yard and it may even still be cookin'...
I think the old lads name was Red Neckerson....but can't be sure now..
But that's what the picture is of..
An' 'dat's da troof....
