    Tomorrow I'm going to trim about 10" off the arms to the counterweight and perhaps get the new front steering wheels attached. Jerry

    That is the plan.  I want full opening so I expect the tank touch point will be the final length.  Will see once I put a dummy to rep the tube and see the expected door opening.  I don't want a door edge hitting me in the head when I want the look or reach deep.  Already got enough head issues...

    My smoker looks like a robot with what I did today. Retired engineer friend could not come up with foolproof specs so I started winging it. Okay, here is what I did. Can't say I understand the math so I just winged it. The forward edge of the 1" box tube is at 7" from the fulcrum and angled...

    A few finer touches added today from the original ship desk parts and part of the stainless top off a scrap commercial oven. Need to add some steel to the expanded metal where wood will be stored. Next the counterweight for the 60 lbs door. I'm going to have to figure out a heavier steering...
