So we'll see if anyone can guess what these are for...they won't be used as handles...that's too obvious. They have a specific purpose. Who can guess what it is?
This is the side that will be welded to the horizontal cook chamber. It has a couple of alignment tabs welded to it for when we finally go to weld the two tanks together.
the opening to the vertical cook chamber can be enlarged later if I find out it its restricting the draft flow too much.
This is the horizontal CC door. I am adding a 3/4" x 1/8" flat spacer to the edge of the door before I weld the 2" wide flanges on.
This will allow the door to sit in the opening a little more hopefully sealing a bit better. I have 1"x1/8" flat, fire resistant felt gasket, like what is used on the Big Green Egg smokers.
I guessing ur Gona put some more welds on that door hinges tho right? If u grind the milscale it will penetrate more and weld more clean. Mig welds are notorious for lack of fusion.
After thinking it over, I decided that I would be using the vertical chamber most anytime I was using this smoker.
With that, I decided to not have the extra stack and open the vertical chamber to free flowing heat and smoke, and having the stack on top the vertical chamber.
