Pappy:
So have we got an alternant Plan ?? I know several that will be there early so shouldn't be a problem, we just need to know who will take care of it. :) Any more nappers coming in early that might know what they are doing ?

Parnell:
Wish I could say I could get there early to bring sand and help out. I'm Thursday afternoon.
Pat B:
I'll guard it with my life, Eddie! ;)

It's easy for most Texas Cherts and Florida coral. I'll send the coral by mail. Just dig a pit about a foot deep and maybe 36" around, depending on how much rock you have. Place the small spalls on the bottom and the larger ones on top of them and cover with play sand. They sell it at all of the big box stores. Cover it all about 2-3" thick and open the side of a 20# bag of charcoal length wise and soak it with starter fluid or Pappy's special fire starter he keeps under the cabinet in the shop. let it go till you can remove everything without burning your bare hands. Just make sure the sand is covered with hot charcoal. Ezee, Peeze, to borrow from Bonepile.
Tower:
I know play sand transfers heat really well, but I've always used the dirt from the pit I've dug. It's always worked great for me. If play sand can't be found.
