Jerome,
Ribwizzard has some really nice straps several of the guys have used that are a brace/hinge and they also provide a place to mount your door handle. Here is one example that doesn't incorporate a hinge, there are more on here.

Thanks for the info. I see that your a newbe and I hope you have found the SMF as interesting as I have. I will check out the brace/hindge you mentioned. Keep a look out on my thread and don't hesitate to give your input.
For the firebox corners, you could use 1 1/2 x 1/8 flat bar mounted on 45 degree angle. This yields slightly more than 1" height above the firebox surface and they could be mounted using Harbor Freight welding magnets that will set the angle for you. You could also use the flat bar for your CC door seal.
I'm planning to insulate the FB if i can get the visual in my head. I remember seeing a thread where a guy framed up a FB and warmer but can't remember how he did it. The only thing I remember was his build was too heavy fr his tractor to lift.
ALABAMA.....GOOO BAMA
Looks really good!
