My colleagues will come to my house and we'll have a barbecue in the garden tomorrow at noon. I set up the special barbecue today, but it was broken. I'm going to talk about it in this entry. This old barbecue was made of a scrapped drum can that was originally produced for oil storage. My acquaintance, who runs an iron factory, cut an old metallic barrel vertically into two parts, and one was for me and the other was for him. He attached four legs to each half. Thus, two big barbecues were made. This barbecue was big enough for lots of people to enjoy parties and was really nice, but at last the bottom fell out.
On account of this, I had to get a new one for tomorrow's party. I wanted to get the same size brazier as the former one, but it was considerably exceptional and I couldn't find anything like that in the shopping center specializing in outdoor products. I bought a modest one as you can see in the second picture. Besides, I bought a net table surrounding the brazier.
