Ok outstanding. I am still waiting to hear back from my buddy that I will be getting my CC pipe from. He said they carry 24" in 1/4", 3/8" and even 1/2". Almost tempted to use 1/2" but that bugger is going to be ridiculously heavy! Won't probably ever be moved much but if and when it ever would need...

Man another awesome build and given away as a gift! I need better friends I guess. Just kidding. What an awesome build! Very clean look. It appears you have built or at least used both standard and reverse flow designs. I am asking for as much feedback as I can get on which is best. Anyone and every...

Hey Dave, FYI McNelius steel in Dodge Center has a huge inventory of steel products and will sell stuff to John Q Public. Believe they charge $0.35/Lb for drops and short leftovers. I have bought literally tons of steel from them. It's a little bit of a drive for you but you could drop by my place a...

Really curious if there is some way to anneal big sections of large pipe like these? Thought maybe a pile of old pallets, huge fire and see if enough heat could be thrown into the pipe to stabilize the stresses. Betting not but would be interesting. Building with things that don't hold dimensions is...

Wow just finished reading this whole thread. What an awesome rig! Your buddy must love you man!

I do love "idiot proof" but also think sometimes the best r...

Thanks guys! Cool site! Dacolson, live near Hayfield and work in Rochester. Used to buzz through Farmington a lot, my brother lived in Lakeville for a while.

Thanks guys! Will be back here a lot for info.

I have a special Milwaukee circular saw specifically designed for cutting metal. I agree with you previous posters, I was in awe! I built a driveway grader and was cutting through 1/2" steel like it was butter! I could not believe how well it cut! That said I have never tried plunge cutting to start...

Too bad there isn't some way to heat these huge pipe sections up and relieve all the expansion stresses before cutting the door openings. Does anybody have a pickup sized blast furnace I can borrow for a couple days? :) I am in the process of rounding up my materials for my first build. If the wall ...

Hello all, My name is Bryan. I live in SE Minnesota and I love awesome BBQ'd meats! I came across this site while trying to obtain information on building backyard BBQ pits. I am a complete noob at making great BBQ but pretty good at fabricating things. I am very confident I can build an awesome sti...
