Afterburn cleaning
Usually the additive used to denature ethanol is methanol. Never heard of gasoline being used.- roklimo

Planning A Medium Size RF
The full opening of the 7 1/2" diameter circle is 44.2 square inches. The portion covered in the center by the 1/2" diameter piece is about 0.2 square inches. So the available portion of the opening would be about 44 square inches. The baffle plate appears to cover about half of this, leaving...- roklimo

Ground hogs
I would convert him to pink mist... .300WSM with 110gr hand loaded hollow points. They are very destructive pests, and should be eliminated. Kind of a fan of overkill... -
First build...now w/Q-view
Finally got some time to work on her. Yup, reverse flow... Haven't really welded in years. (Wasn't much good when I did.) Slowly getting the hang of it. Got the plate to fabricate the firebox, and most everything else but the expanded metal for the cooking surface.- roklimo

First build...now w/Q-view
I plan on sloping slightly toward the end opposite the firebox. I like the idea of any grease collected to head away from the heat source. (I think it would work fine either way though.) I don't have any closeups of the welds. I attempted some stick welds, but I kinda suck at that. (need...- roklimo

First build...now w/Q-view
The cooking surface will be about 45" X 20". Still looking to score some less expensive plate for the firebox. (Have to go shopping at the scrap yard again.) I was going to use the Propane tank I got, but I am unimpressed with the thickness of the metal. (It might end up being a charcoal...- roklimo

First build...now w/Q-view
After the burn, I pressure washed the tank. most of the paint came right off. Got it up on legs, and casters go on next. Got the door opening marked, and drilled small hole at each corner. Once I get that cut, I start on the reverse flow plate and drain.- roklimo

cutting a propain tank
Cut mine today. Not too bad. Pretty thin steel, and the cutoff wheel made short work of it.- roklimo

Cut the ends off of both tanks, and cut the legs and compressor base of of the air tank. Time to burn... Probably not going to be the fastest project posted here. I will keep it updated as things get done. Should have been a winter project...- roklimo

cutting a propain tank
No matter how much Dawn and water I use, it still smells like the stuff they add to propane to make it stink. It's a little unnerving...- roklimo

Adding PID controller
Usually reducing the Gain, (or increasing Proportional band) will "slow down" the control, and cycle less. Each PID manufacturer chooses which units it uses for tuning the controller.- roklimo

First build...now w/Q-view
Air tank is a 100 gallon one. About 22" in diameter, and 64" long. Still has the U stamp tag on it. Rated at 200 psi @ 550degF, and full vacuum... not for long! Pics tomorrow- roklimo

First build...now w/Q-view
On my way to the scrap yard to do a little tank shopping. I found a pretty good sized air compressor tank. Hard to tell dimensions way up on the pile, but I would guess 80 gallon plus... Also picking up a smaller propane tank for use as a firebox (possibly). Gotta be on top of things...- roklimo
