    Firebox design questions

    Thanks, Dave. I hope that you are well. But that's not what I'm asking. Does the calculation for firebox volume assume the entire firebox including any volume given to the grate and under the grate or does the calculation only include the volume above the grate for best performance? For...

    Firebox design questions

    Hello All Sooo....does the computed firebox volume apply to all the firebox including any volume taken up under the fire grate or by the fire grate self (think bar grate here)? Or does it include only what is above the fire grate? And am I correct that if I am up-sizing the firebox volume for...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Chopsaw, you sure have that right. Metal cutting saws can be real screamers. My experience with metal cutting saws is that carelessly shock loading the teeth by starting a cut too aggressively or forcing the saw as opposed to letting it cut freely are both quick paths to buying blades a lot...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Most of the used plasma cutters that pop up here either look like they got air dropped sans parachutes or the sellers think they should get close to high retail pricing for them. In some cases they must have bought them dumb as they fairly often pop up at over normal street prices. For most of...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    I want a plasma cutter but don't think I can justify what a new brand name plasma cutter costs and have grave reservations about the lesser brands. I'd love to have something like a Miller Spectrum 375 but haven't yet been able to choke down the $1500 cost. If I'm a really good boy do you...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Prices seem to be all over the place at times and widely different between sources as suppliers react to the particular market forces that affect them. One thing I will say for my steel supplier is that they usually will deliver to a residential address two days a week for no charge even though...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Will do but there likely won't be a build until mid to late winter although I may cut the plate for the first firebox when I unload the steel to keep from handling it any more than I must. I have a few ongoing woodworking and cabinetmaking projects and a couple of restorations of old canoes to...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Hopefully I'll be able to roll the cart out the back door to the edge of the concrete slab and tip a sheet at a time onto the lawn with some framing lumber under it to keep it off the ground while I cut. The biggest hazard will likely be the zillion sharp shards of steel the saw flings around...

    Great auction score of 1/4" sheet steel!

    Hello fellow BBQ fans! I haven't been around much for a while but I've been scrounging materials for a smoker or two. I have three 120 gallon propane tanks and a really thick walled 90 gallon tank off of a vehicle sitting in the edge of our woods along with a stout trailer a big industrial air...

    Hot Dog advice needed

    Without knowing what the ratio of meat/fat to water was I can't answer the question regarding water content but some of the quantities of water listed in some of this thread's posts are really high. Personally I add no more water than is needed for good mixing and stuffing texture. And for hot...

    Thoughts on commercial food service equipment opportunities

    My thanks to whomever moved this thread from where I had started it. I wasn't sure where to it. Like many others we're going out of our way to try to support local small business. The only locally owned grocery store in the area is several miles out of our way but we make a point of going...

    Thoughts on commercial food service equipment opportunities

    Hello fellow BBQ fans One of the sad and inevitable consequences of the current economic environment is that I expect that a lot of food service related enterprises will go out of business over the next year or so. It is already a tough business to get into and survive in and the current...

    Hobart 11b slicer

    As a follow up on my post above I just went to Hobart's site again to research a newer slicer and had to register to access the manual I needed. As it turns out the old technician only access site can now be accessed by anyone who registers. Just click the checkbox that you don't want emails...

    Hello All! Nancy and I hope that all of you doing well and are healthy. Here's the body of the PM I sent to Kenny prior to realizing that he had an open thread. As ITW loves to move the archive of old manuals around and it seems to get a new web address and menu trail to find it every so...
