I got it up to 475 and kept it there for a couple hours so its got a nice season now. I want to really thank all the helpful folks on this site for the input and all the great...

    No q view yet but we have tbs and close to even temps at both thermometers. I got a good coat of lard in it now and I'll probobly do one more before I cook on it. I got it up to 300 with a few good size splits. I'm sure with lump charcoal it'll go higher. Im playing now bringing it down.

    I'm finally back at it. Works been crazy busy and I had a really hard time getting a new axle for cheap. I wanted a straight axle but had to settle for a drop axle. I really didn't want to have to make lift blocks to mount the axle to but it's what I could afford. I brought the fork lift home...

    Another 120 Gallon Compressor Tank RF Build. Appreciate any help.

    I wondered about doing the plenum all the way down to the top of the firebox like jerry mentioned but wasn't sure if there were any drawbacks to having that large of an open space inside to the chimney. Jerry do you remember where you saw it mentioned and has any one seen one done that way?

    That thing with the notches in it is a retaining nut. When that comes off then there is a star washer with tabs youll need to bend off of the retaining nut behind it. When the 2 retaining nuts and star washer are removed the whole hub will slide off the axle and there is an inside and outside...

    if the gears turning is what oils the bearings then id think you could just grease the bearings with bearing grease instead.

    on the Toyota full floating axles ive worked on there is an oil seal in the tube to block the oil from coming in contact with the bearings. they are lubed with high speed bearing grease. if youre going to run it with the broken axle shaft pictured you should figure out a way to plug the axle...

    I got the other cross member on and the rear member cut off.i have to wait until the firebox and cc is mounted to do the rear member as it will attach to the firebox. Verticle ups are still ugly but a little better,practice will make perfect one day. Next will be cosmetic stuff like cutting...
