Nice work guys, but I think you are making some Japanese people nervous.

I know it can vary, but how much meat do you think would fill it?

Looks like you are doing a great job so far. Have you given thought to making it reverse flow? Looks like a great crew having a good time too.

Noticed you cut the whole door out and didn't weld the hinges on. Most that I've seen like to make the first cut then weld the hinges on. Looks like you have your plan though. Nice job buster!

Zeeker,

I have been wanting to build a grill using a compressor tank. Could you give us the phone number of the place that sells the rejects.

Thanks,
Ron

Sorry I got caught up... Your project is looking awesome, I can't wait to see more of the build.

Good luck
