    Going to give this toggle latch a try to see if it holds up. Noticed I spaced it off of the firebox to keep it away from the heat some but when installing it I managed to bend the U-bolt on it, so there is no telling when or if will break off now.

    Well I ended up re-doing the intake slide setup and it now works flawlessly... just took me a day or two to think of how to make it work better.  I also got the door and it's bracing on and welded and of course the door warped, but with a little time and some clamps, I got it back to almost...

    finished up the intake door/adjuster and got the guides and stops welded on.  It doesn't slide as easy as I'd like, but with a little wiggling it works ok.  Still deciding on what to do about the handle for that as well....  Hopefully today or tomorrow I can get the CC cut and get the FB at...

    Haven't gotten much done, but have got a little on the firebox complete.  I also got all my stuff I ordered and I think I will have to order another latch and some thicker Nomex gasket, but we will see if what I have works.   Got the intake holes cut

    Didn't get much done today due to fiddling with the calculators to get the FB to CC opening correct and the weather turned bad right on schedule... lovely Florida summers... I got the FB tacked up.  I planned on doing an insulation plate ~1/2" below the top of the box, but now I am not sure if...
