yeah Dave Im a keep it simple stupid kinda guy. Did you look at how high and far away the top seal would be from the cc? I think you might be a little too old school for what the up and comming bbq present may have to precure. I appriciate all the advice, but as a fabricator/welder please dont try to tell my my hindges wont work. Take notes "buddy". There is an expression, out with the old, in with the new......
NOT a good way to make friends in here. As a "Fabricator/Weldor" (and yes weldor is the person performing the welding) you shouldn't have to ask how to keep the tank from rusting any more, what size metal to use for the frame, how to cut an axle and the tank, how to keep the door from springing when you make the final cuts....and several other questions. Design, yes, I can understand asking questions. But basic metal working that a second year apprentice should know? You asked for help and advice. Folks in here answered your call with advice that comes with years of experience. And then you come back with an attitude like that? I would venture to guess you are on your own from here on out "buddy".....you might can lay a bead, but a fabricator/weldor you ain't. This is the nice draft......I would get banned if I said what I really wanted to.
