    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    Another great idea Dave! Thank You! Got the hinges welded on and "blind welded" the bottom flange, which worked great. Drilled 3/8" holes 4" apart and welded from the inside. After cutting out the rest of the door, it would only lift up about 1/4 of the way before binding. The pipe had expanded...

    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    My RF plate is 48" X 17 3/4" X 1/4" thick. I am considering putting the drain in the middle of it by grinding and tapering the bottom edge along where it wil be welded to the CC. Then before I weld, apply pressure along the center of the plate across it which should slope it 1/4" toward the...

    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    Finally ready to do some welding. Got most of the pieces cut. Thought I could make hinges out of the cutoff corners. Rough cut CC door hinges. 5/8" rod installed and ready to start welding.

    Thanks Dave! I like the idea of drilling and blind welding. Would give it a nice clean look.

    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    CC door marked. This view is backwards. For some strange reason I fell like the FB needs to be on the right side of the CC door. Must be a right handed thing. :-) CC end at FB squared off at maximum 55" from rounded end cap and door partially cut. Need to get hinges and 1X1/8" flange...

    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    Question on the CC door(s). I see a lot of builds that weld 1/8" X 1" flat steel around the door edges. I can see the welds on the outside, usually a couple inches long spaced around the door.But then is it a good practice to also weld the inside all the way around? Seems to me it wouldn't seal...

    20" Pipe RF Smoker

    Got the short piece cut in half. Set the half pipe on top of CC to scribe for the cut. I could have used that template but wasn't sure if the CC  pipe was perfectly round. It had a dent on top rounded end that I pounded out with a sledge hammer. Fit was very good, thanks to that template...
