Dave,

I'm probably wrong but I could have sworn that someone mentioned that metal
recyclers weren't interested in the aluminum because of all the foam
insulation?

Would you believe, I still have the carcass in the back yard.

I was about to call a wrecker several times but then I'd get an email from
someone asking about yet another part.

Many of those efforts fell through.

So there it sits, i can pay a tow truck top haul it 50 miles to the nearest
recycling facility, or, i may persuade a local person to strip it down for
the metal.

If i go that route then I can save the end caps for whoever might need them.
(that I could hide in my yard indefinitely)

So, the key this decision is knowing the approximate weight of the metal.
