Okay guys,
I am getting ready to embark on the modifications to my Smoke N Pit. I understand that galvanized metal is a definite no-no. Are there other metals/materials that I need to stay away from as far as building charcoal grates/baskets, baffles, tuning plates/rails, and smokestack extensions?
Or perhaps a better question may be what ARE safe materials to use for building charcoal grates/baskets, baffles, tuning plates/rails, and smokestack extensions? I am not a welder and don't know all of the technical terms regarding steel/metal. If I walked into a welding shop with a picture and some dimensions, what should I tell them to use (so that it won't make the food taste crappy or poison me.)
Thanks.
Dave
