Sorry I haven't been around in a while. I've had jury duty, and a few other things came up. I've had to do some winterizations around the house, and my neighbours' pool needed to be put to bed for the winter. Her husband (a good friend of mine) passed away almost a year ago, so I do what I can.
I did , although, work on the smoker door some. I've started on the frame by welding two pieces of rolled 1 1/2" x 1/8" flat stock together with two pieces (not rolled) of the same dimensions to create an opening 10" x 10 1/2".
Since I don't own a slip roll, I took a piece of 16 ga. sheet stock 11 1/2" x 12" down to my old job, and asked a friend to run it through theirs.
It only took 10 min. to get it rolled, but I wound up BSing in the cafeteria for two hours!
I'm also trying to fab up some hinges and a latching handle for the door.
I'll post back with some pics soon.
