New Cat BBQ front loader attachment!

I’m sure many of us have done the old pop a pasty on the manifold trick 25 minutes before tea break, thus ensuring a nicely warmed up meal for our 10am or 1pm meal breaks and we have all heard the “old school” tales about frying eggs on top of the hydraulic tank too, but with the recent spell of hot sunny weather we have been experiencing in the UK how about this for an alternative hot food feast.  The American guy in this shot has set up a BBQ in the front loader bucket of his Caterpillar 450E backhoe loader and by the look of things, the juicy steaks are simmering away nicely. With the ketchup and mustard condiments at the ready I’m sure his cooking talents would be in big demand from his fellow workmates. Let's just hope he has his food hygiene certificate and has completed a risk assessment! Have any of our reader’s done something similar recently or in the past I ask?
