    Busy weekend but I got the first cook in on sunday. After she was finally seasoned in she ran clean as clean can be. :) In fact I think she might be TO efficient. The fire roars like a jet and the air flow is crazy, so crazy I think it might have to be tamed down a bit, Ill know more when I get...

    Got the cook chamber door on. Still need to put on the real handle for it and drill a couple holes for the temp gauges. I think I messed up with the hinges for it though. The pivot point on the hinges are to close to the tank, so when I went to put on the 1" flat bar for the top of the door...

    Next was to get the firebox attached to the tank. Im trying to get it to the point where all my wheels are on it so I can move it around where ever I need it, cause sometimes its in the way. I dont have much room here. With some blocks and a jack, I got it to where I needed it. I had a bit of...

    After that was done I wanted to get that attached to the tank but before I could do that I wanted to get the wheels on it. This is what I came up with. I had an idea in my head and went to the place where I get some metal from and came up with this. 3/4 rod with 1" angle iron and 1" flat bar...
