Dan, that pic of the kid brazing the pans is awesome. Look at the size of the pipes that supplied the gas for the flames!?! At least I think that’s what I’m looking at I always wondered how they did the brazing. I pictured a guy with a torch working on his pile. Didn’t realize it was kinda automated
