Firebox bout done. As you can see I'm lacking on the bottom. Started to run out of plate, I'll splice 2 on the bottom. On the bottom of the one side i will have the air intake there

Ran out of oxygen, but still had time on my hands. Figured I'd go ahead and connect the two and finish the box when I get more oxy

Got door marked out. Might be putting the cart in front of the horse, but I put the door hinges on. Last build I did I had a heck of a time lining to install back on cooker. Did some cuts where the hinges went and put them on. Then cut the rest

Thanks ribwizzard. I stole your idea

 

[ribwizzard]

:icon_biggrin:That's what they are there for! I only hold back a few ideals, just to keep a slight edge!

Size and placement of the door looks perfect......

 

[jmud]

I have 22" between bottom rack and to of door opening. Do I have enough room for 3 racks ( 7 1/2" roughly between racks) or am I asking for trouble

 

[ribwizzard]

Put multiple strips of angle so you can adjust the racks to different heights...?

 

[jmud]

I like it

 

[jmud]

Do you use angle or c channel for rails?

 

[gary s]

RW, you took the words right out of my mouth, you can use either, I use angle.

Gary    ...........................    Good job, looks great !!!!!!

 

[jmud]

If you use angle what keeps the rack from flopping out when it slides out?
