That one outside of Reading PA has been for sale for a few weeks. It's kinda neat, but jees what a monster

 I have a smoker going outside right now and vegetables inside. The Partio Cart will do it all in one place with room to spare.

Thanks Harris.  It is a Partio Cart.   What a cool name for  the late 50's early 60's.   The owner has the chef hat and the pipe in his mouth while cooking.  Inside the owners manual, there's a james bond looking dude in a striped blazer with his mixed drink.

Just noticed my spelling (LOL) .  Let us know if you get it and post lots of pics.  Very Nice!

Now this is the kind of stuff we are looking for!

That thing is ... WONDERFUL!

Very nice.  Form and function.  On a similar note, I've always wanted to get hold of an army field kitchen.

I found an AD for this unit.  It listed for $895 when it came out in the late 50's/early 60's.

If  errrr when I buy it ,  i will just roll it across the street.  Just not sure where I will keep it.  I do have a 220 outlet in my garage.  I could keep it out back behind the garage .  I don't want it to get any weather on it. We will see if the boss is okay with this massive cooker. She has been wanting another oven.
