    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Thinnest available at my local hardware store was 1/8". Should be fine I think.

    By thin you probably don't mean 1/4" heh

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    I need to cut my half moon opening before I put that side on. One whole side is going to be the door. So I could put the top and bottom onto one side. trying to think of ways to cut the half moon with my angle grinder but I have a feeling it'll create too much heat and possibly warp the plate.

    Argh! Went to start welding my fire box together and realized I screwed up my drawing I gave to the fab shop for the side with the vents... Was supposed to be wide and I drew it tall so the vents run up the side not across the bottom... Looks like I need to go back to the fab shop on Monday. At...

    Does the heat shield bridge between the FB and RF plate?

    Woohoo Fire Box parts are ready! My dad is going to pick them up while I'm stuck at work. Maybe I can get an early jump on it before the weekend. He can show me how to work the welder and stuff (it's his) before he heads out of town this weekend. So pumped.

    Thanks Dave, I take it I should not follow the measurements on that drawing. Not sure I could fit that much intake vent space on my little firebox... ;) How would I figure out the dimensions/volume of the plenum? What would it be based on?

    If I put the chimney on the end of the tank instead of on top, could I gain a little more cooking space? Would it be worth it/work the same?

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Had some time to work on it last night while my wife was at a meeting. Got the FB opening cut out. Only had to try 4 different tools and only broke 1! Haha... (was just the blade on the reciprocating saw, which was making very quick work through the straights I must say...) This time it's...

    You really are some kind of wizard.

    Well it should cut easier up a bit higher... there is some pretty thick welds right in the middle there where I was cutting.  Would you recommend holding off on cutting the CC door until after the FB is welded on?

    I think I've made a mistake cutting the opening for the firebox. I started cutting it at 3" from the bottom, but looking at the drawing again I think i should have cut it at 4.5" so that the top of the firebox would be at the height of the RF plate, and then cut the 3" opening in the FB.  My...

    Just as simple as you'd think I guess, thanks Dave.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Got some more grinding done. Started cutting the opening for the fire box too. Hopefully I can get it ready for welding on the fire box tomorrow.Will be welding the fire box together next weekend I hope. This tank has at least 1/4" thick walls... How would you suggest filling these holes...
