    36" side fire box backyard build

    Thanks, I PM'd you. We plan on building a rack underneath the pit and we are going to build a little step/platform to stand on. It got hot this summer and we opted to wait for the cooler weather rather than welding on this thing in the blistering heat. Its now cooling off over here so we do...

    So yesterday was very productive, we made a ton of progress. We started out my setting the deflector plate before we closed the end of the pit up. We thought it would be beneficial to brace the end plate since it would have about 500 lbs. hanging off the end. If you look you see we made a brace...

    36" side fire box backyard build

    The top of the opening is about 1-2" under the lower shelf (picture looks differently). I was hoping the grate and opening would be a little further apart but I set the height of the racks a while back thinking it was high enough, and then when I figured the hole opening based on the calculator...

    Well yesterday we got 2 of the end plates fit (1 for the cook chamber, and 1 for the firebox). We got our football shaped cutouts cut, and later today we are hoping to get the firebox hung. I got pictures of the football shape layed out but I didn't get pictures of it after it was cut. We...

    doubt it. there are some high heat powders on the market but they all have mixed reviews. I don't want to take the time and spend the money to get it powder coated and then it turn out to be garbage. Ill probably have the pit blasted and just high heat paint out of a spray gun.
