    I FINALLY GOT MY INSULATION.  I ORDERED 2" THINKING THAT I COULD GET IT PACKED INTO THE 1 1/4" SPACE BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER WALLS OF THE FIRE BOX.  THE INSULATION IS VERY DENSE AND WOULD NOT FIT.  LUCKY FOR ME IT SPLITS APART NICELY AND ALSO CUTS NICELY.  THE STUFF IS ACTUALLY PRETTY EASY...

    The firebox to horizontal cook chamber opening came out at about 220 sq in. ( slightly larger than recommended ).  The insulation is ordered and on the way.  I have started fabricating the door between the fire box and cook chamber.  With my firebox and vertical cook chamber being miss matched...

    I AM HAVING A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT EXACTLY HOW TO JOIN THE FIREBOX AND THE TANK.  I KNOW THAT MY COOK CHAMBER OPENING NEEDS TO BE APROX. 211 SQ IN.  I THINK I AM GOING TO NEED A HALF CIRCLE SHAPED OPENING BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL MATCH THE OPENING THAT I CUT IN THE...
