OK, here you go:

Bottom shelf, 22", 45 quart, 160 lbs

Next shelf 17", 29 quart, 67 lbs      -     11", 9 quart, 26 lbs

Next shelf 15" 18 quart, 46 lbs     -     9", 5 quart, 16 lbs     -     13", 12 quart, 40 lbs

Thats pretty impressive Sam. Thanks.  :)

I'd like to cook SOMETHING in one of them big boys. The biggest one I have used here around the house is a 22 quart size. I'd just like to see that big boy in action.  :o

Sam looks like that bottom shelf is a little bowed. I found some C/I nickle plated stove coasters that go under the legs of a stove, at a auction.I see that what you found works good to set your D/O legs on.

Now that I've looked at the picture closer, yes the bottom shelf looks like it's sagging. I use 3/4 plywood under all my wire shelving that sits on the floor for more support, so if it's sagging I'll just remove the CO from that shelf and add another strip down the center brace.

Well as promised, here is a picture of the set of MACA Camp Ovens (495 lbs.). I still haven't decided where to puchase the alum CO's or not. Probably will... :-?
