    re-designed the intake and had to raise the bottom to make it work.  My idea now is to box in the bottom, when I can find the right material.  The intake will also double as a clean out, It goes 90deg directly into the bottom center of the tank, and at 3.5 in id, I should have no problem with...

    Got the stack on today and the vent cove for the smoker door.  The stack is leaning to the right just a tad, enough to bug me, so i'll be taking it back off tomorrow and rewelding it.  I think my problem was not enough tack welds to keep it from moving when welding, I only tacked it once.  Live...
