Outdoor Grills 
EVEN on hot, humid days it isn’t hard to generate enthusiasm for a picnic 
out-of-doors. A secluded corner in the garden surrounded with shrubbery, enough 
shade for coolness, a basket of simple foods, a few hot dogs, hamburgers or a 
steak perhaps, and some of those red ripe tomatoes hanging on the vines nearby, 
will provide plenty of atmosphere for even the most sophisticated. 
To complete this picture we offer the DONLEY CHARCOAL STOVE UNIT 
shown above. Its height is 24 inches and the outside dimensions of the top are 
1414x20/4 inches. Body and legs are steel, fire baskets of cast iron and the cooking 
grid at the top of welded 7/16-inch steel rods. A portion of the top is hinged to 
afford access to the fire. While not readily portable, it can be removed at the 
end of the season and stored. 
The most sturdy and well constructed outdoor stove we have seen. $12.95. 
If you have some plans for constructing a more permanent and elaborate fire- 
place out-of-doors, check over our stock of grates, cranes, Dutch ovens, spits, and 
doors. It is also possible to build around the Donley Charcoal Stove as shown 
above.
