    Quote: That is my thought, I was thinking 2 supports, my tank is 3ft round. My door opening will be approx. 55" L x 20" W, may be a little bigger on the width.

    Trippy, i am just using a cut off wheel on a 4 1/2 in angle grinder- i guess inshoukd clarify that the metal didnt really warp. It more of kinda sprung if that makes sense. I dont feel like it got real hot but i am not a metal expert or metal curring expert whatsoever so i probably just dont...

    I started prepping my tank for the CC. While I was sanding I noticed that the tank has a pretty significant amount of pitting. I don't know if you can tell by the pics but should I be concerned about it? Should I look for a new tank?

    Weedeater, I know it does, and I probably already knew that. I guess I was hoping someone would say that it should be ok! lol I wonder what an oversized firebox would do, what problems it would bring up? Fred, that's a good idea that I didn't think of may check into that.

    UPDATE: So the fabrication of my firebox is not happening, the fabricator is dragging his feet and I feel like I have waited long enough. i mean its been almost 5 months. I do not have the skills or equipment to fabricate the box myself and this seems like the best option for me, I just dont...

    Calling all welders, Looking for a machine!

    Alright!!! you have all convinced me!!! I will stay away from the harbor freight stuff!!! Although some of the other tools seem decent for smaller things. I don't plan on really welding anything thick. My thought is I will be using it to weld straps, hinges, handles, dampers, etc... I am a...
