wow, thanks for the warm welcome guys. I talked to my steel guy today and should be getting it in the next week or so.

I am gonna try and build a 40"long by 30" circumfrence with a 20"w by 20" circumference offset fire box for the back yard first. I will post some pics as I get started. Also, i just gutted that piece o shizit masterbuilt 40" electric and picking up a 16" piece of steel tomorrow and will build a fire box and stand and convert it to a charcoal for the boys at work.

Again, thank you all and look forward to picking you brains in the future and only hope that at some point I could pass some knowledge on
