[SEL] Spam/Phish> Hot Tube Size ?

[Steve Royster]

Arnie,  Burns and Horner sells a ready made hot tube with chimney and valve 
and everything that is a universal design that could be modified for almost 
any situation!  So go ahead and spend some of those nuclear dollars and help 
out old John, and save yourself a lot of work too!  Steve
