I had the idea of putting a piece of granite or caesarstone on top and use it as a table/outdoor kitchen too, but it would kind of look more like a sacrificial alter
Hi Jonathon,I have thought of that too ,after seeing the late mike Kerr 's 25"scope at Ilford the home of the SPSP
It could be one option
Cheers
