I am so glad I took your advise and got the heaver metal kit.
Also it is better to disassemble the old metal and take it out and replace it piece by piece instead of shoving a welded box down the Stack.
Thanx Rex.
Just Got Er Dun !
I installed Nathan's kit and it went Easy Peasy !
I LOVE that Guy !
His video was 20 minutes and it took me around 40. (I'm slow)
12 gauge is the way the Factory should have made it.
Ready to Cook On !
I did.
Nathan was great to work with. He was very prompt with answers and shipped within two days of payment. The steel is very heavy gauge and I am pleased with the material.
I have done quite a few cooks and You will see creosote build up. This has the appearance of peeling paint. I don't have rust per say.
What you will get is burn through of the metal by the Fire Box area (bottom 6" of the fuel stack)
I just got delivery of my Fire Box Mod kit about 30 minutes...
I ordered the 12ga mod and it is getting shipped today.
I have been going through BBQ/Smoker withdrawals.
I had been using mine on almost a daily basis.
I have held off when I noticed the insulation in the ash bucket.
I am not ready for the Boat Trailer Mod though. LOL.
And I am married so I...
Rex... You pulled the temporary metal off and saw behind it. What is the fluffy white insulation? Is there also a hard ceramic? How thick is it do you think?
So the metal plates are only temporary for transport?
It looked like I had fuzzy insulation looking material (just a little bit) in the ash bucket this time.
I think Rex had a video about his insulation.
I saw two kits. One is 14 gauge and the other is 12 gauge. I might just get a mod kit if the warranty deal takes too long. I wouldn't want a thin metal mod kit and get a repeat
Thanx Rex.
I submitted a warranty request today on the fire box.
Do you think they will stand behind a repair?
I have had mine since January as well.
Have any of you others gotten help from Masterbuilt for a new fire box mod or am I going to be on my own?
