Snowmobile-Pulled Sled Serves As A "Portable Fireplace"
 ✖  |
A friend of mine operates a commercial ice fishing business. During winter some of his ice fishing holes are located several miles apart. To warm up our hands I built this snowmobile-pulled sled that serves as a "portable fireplace" as we journey from one hole to the next.
The 6-ft. long, 1 1/2-ft. wide sled is built from 1-in. steel tubing and rides on plastic runners made from white puckboard. The sled has a metal firewood storage box on front and a washing machine tub on back that serves as a fireplace. By placing a grille over the tub we can even roast hot dogs while fishing. The sled's spring-loaded hitch pin helps absorb shocks as it's pulled over rough ice. (Jake Wolfe, P. O. Box 365, La Crete, Alberta, Canada T0H 2H0 ph 780 926-6191; wolfeman@telus.net)
