I'm in of coarse,

Always nice to finally buy something new instead of used. ( i am surprised you did not build your own )

So I am in for all the sparks and flames of the build.

I really considered trying to build my own. In the end, I found a great deal on this one from a local guy, so I just went for it.

A quick update:

After spending some time using my laser, a tape measure, and a big square to lay out the dimensional cuts, I got the plate steel all cut up into panels today - for the main body of the grill.

The bottom (floor) panel is back left, with the front and back panels next. And the 2 sides are the short panels on the right.

Then I got a square tube frame laid out to reinforce the bottom panel. Should make it plenty strong.

Didn't do any welding yet because I realized this afternoon that I'm out of shielding gas. So I'll have to make a trip to the welding supply before I start welding these panels together. I'll post another update after I get that started.

CO2, Argon/CO2 or other? Curious. I previously just used CO2 but my new tank is Argon/CO2 but I haven't used it yet. I also upgraded to a larger tank since the CO2 one recently expired and I didn't want to deal with re certifying it just yet.

This is going to be so much fun to watch Red. Thanks for including all of us to enjoy your work.
