    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Progress! We tackled a daunting hurdle today and cut out the opening for the firebox to attach to the main chamber. This part was definitely harder then we thought it was going to be. We had some trouble figuring out how to replicate the shape that needed to be cut so in solidworks we inverted...

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Whats the thickness that everyone uses for their trim? What is the preferred method of bending it?

    Very good idea... we were counting on the trim to cover up the hack job on the top of the door but I like your idea. We will have to mull it over a bit. We have some time before we need to attach the trim.

    They should as long as we don't apply direct heat. They are 3/16 or 1/4 inch steel so at a 200-600 deg operating temp we should be fine. We will also reenforce them as you would with any rack using some sort of perforated metal.

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Oh and how should we cut the cutout on the main chamber for the firebox? It is going to be an odd rounded shape so using a cutting wheel would be very difficult. We were planning on using the torch or plasma cutter but now I'm worried we will cause some major warping. On the other hand, I would...

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Rubbin Butts, That makes a lot of sense which makes me wonder why everyone on the forums is always dreaming they had a plasma cutter. I found the cutting much easier and more accurate with a cutting blade. We actually only cut the top of the door with the plasma cutter and that's where we had...

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    Yay, made some progress today! And more pictures!! Hinges tacked on. Top and sides of door cutout. Better view of the hinges we fabricated. We chose to offset the hinges towards the tank so when the door pivots up the trim around the door would lift off of the tank instead of bending into...

    "Baron Von Schwein" 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank RF Build. QVIEW!

    J Don, We are using the round firebox simply because we got the tank for $10. I think if we had to purchase materials we would go with a rectangular insulated firebox. Solidworks is definitely my prefer ed CAD package. I had a class early on that started out in AutoCAD (thought it was alright...
