Sometimes Ya Don't Know What Cha Got Til Ya Clean It

[tabdog]

[size=large]I'll clean something up if I think it
might be something.

But sometimes I'll miss something,
like I'm sure most of you do also.

Here's one like what I'm takin about.

I found this thing a while back.

It looked like part of an old wood
stove.

So let's do a "Before and After":

Before cleanin:

Pretty ugly hugh?

Well look what happens with a bunch
a cleanin.

After Cleanin:

Now that's somethin I can hang on tha
wall, or even use as a warmer on tha
stove top.

It still lOOks like part of an old stove,
but it's nice now.

Here's another.

Before cleanin:

Ugly ain't it?

Well lOOkie here.

After claenin:

Not as nice as tha stove part, but I
like it.

This is kind a fun, ain't it?

Let's do one more, OK?

All that cleanin made tha Tabdog a
dirty.

Here's tha Tabdog after he was
diggin in tha dirt.

Before cleanin:

Ugly ain't he????

Well lOOk at tha transformation!!!!

After cleanin:

OMG, Somebody Better Put Some
Clothes On Tha Tabdog!!!!!!![/size]

[size=medium]Hay Folks,

Excuse tha mess. I'm no tidy Tabdog.

I used a 6" bench grinder, a 3/8 inch drill with a brush, and a small round file.

Happy Huntin,

Nice find TD and ya sure got that right about not always knowing.
Last year I was dumping the junk section from the pouch onto the table in the backyard.
Then as I was scooping the trash in a can, the wife snatch one of the washer, took in the kitchen and got to cleaning.
After she got done, that washer turned out to be a nice token
All I saw was a dirty washer when I found it, she saw a hint of something that didn't look right and her hunch was right. I was canning it.
Now I wonder how many washers I have thrown out not knowing if some were tokens, the kind with a hole in it.
Now it can pay to take a second check on some items.

Tabdog I am virtually positive that what you have there is a trivet. A stand for a hot pot or dish.

[size=medium]I found some different definitions. One seems to fit.


<> a three-legged metal stand for supporting a cooking vessel in a hearth

<> a stand with short feet used under a hot dish on a table

<> A trivet , also known as a 'hot plate,' is an object placed between a serving dish or
bowl, and a dining table, usually to protect the table from heat damage.

<> Three legged stand to hold pots of food over the coals, on the hearth and at the table.

<> Metal or ceramic structures above burners that hold pots above the cook top flame.


I go with tha last one, almost. It works if you leave off tha word "flame".

This trivet is for a wood cook stove. It appears to have only one leg.

That's not a leg...........

Here's what I mean.

The so called burners on a wood cook stove have a hole to insert a handle.

Some nicer wood cook stoves came as a set. It may have included trivets.

These trivets may have been for sale separately, I don't know.

The trivets for these wood cook stoves had one thingy stickin down to
stabilize the trivet and keep it from sliding on the stove top.

That's why my trivet appears to have one leg.

Mystery solved......................

Happy Huntin,

Looks like a char broiler trivet attachment for a woodstove to me.

That's how Carl's Flame Burgers got started!
