Sharing food pics is very nice.
Just ordered some wagyu ribeye’s and brisket so stay tuned

Here’s the proof then

The weight makes it possible to open with one hand, without I couldn’t properly do that.
It’s a solid steel bar. Can always add more if I grow old and weak

First cook done! A few wagyu steaks and burgers :-) Need to finsh the wood work, more pic later. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210522/a902580be5d2736b6c57fc31eb4bbb4e.jpg Temp is very solid and consistent on bottom grill. Due to the baffle the top right corner is eay hotter then the rest. That’...

Thanks all.

Any ideas whether I install them perpendicular to the door or parralel to the grate ?

Thanks for thinking with me.
So the rust will come off with oil treatment?
Then sandblasting would be a waste of money.


I plan on treating it with oil every few months.
Spray some lineseed oil on it after a cook maybe.

To get rust off?
Not a good idea?
Some plates also have some printed numbers on them.
Thought samdblasting would give it an even look.

Thanks for the idea

I’d like some ideas and experience on installing the thermometer. I have tell tru’s (from frankelin :-) ..). I can put them in where the rod is parallel to the grate or I can install them perpendicular to the door. Any thoughts? I have 4 of them[emoji56] 2 for bodem grate and 2 for top. https://uplo...

Almost done! Only the thermometers and a grease drain. Now it’s off to the sandblaster and then for some oil. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210515/1a3bc32ffbbed4086b43e758762c4350.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210515/a8414edc446e53e6810cbd7133418d87.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

Looks nice, curious for the rest!

Door fitted, super heavy…..hahaha

Now for the grates, wood board in front, log grate in bottom and grill on FB, then I think I’m done[emoji848]

The stack was build using a bent peace to optimize the airflow, the 90 degres piece makes it horizontal, didn’t see that coming but will pull the hotspot back away from the grate I suppose [emoji56] The legs are inward a bit, not sure what you mean, but the other picture had a better angle maybe so ...

Door fits
Next week some more hours then we could do the first cook!

Okay, emtpy the tray once every 12 hours sounds reasonable[emoji56]

I have the idea from one of the threads here with a little sliding door with a chain. Looked nice. I can always add that if this doesn’t work well enough.

Mmm…..during a cook you mean?
Do you expect issues?

Could ofcourse Empty the ash tray.
I didn’t think it would be an issue during a cook.
Hope I didn’t miss judge that….

Thanks, the neighbour helping me had a great idea for the wheels.
He had brass bearings and he gave me brass nipples to install so we could fill the axis with grease[emoji1377][emoji56]
Rolls like a charm.

Since today it has wheels! Perfect weight balance. Once I put the stack on it’ll be heavier so won’t tip over as easy. Pretty cool. The small legs at the FB side will come off once the stack is on. Wheels where fun to build. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210428/a2579e62c7bb3a6731b47fc327b78445....

Thanks all :-) Today finished the ash tray, all but a handle. Also put in the door.

Nice idea on the handle, I’m shamelesly stealing that idea, hahaha.
Thanks!

Looking awesome!

Hey Hoga, yes wheels….not a good idea?
I’ll put smaller wheels on the front legs also, drawing doesn’t show that.
