Hello again, it's me asking ???,s again. Here is one for ya. I have not installed any vents into my firebox yet and was wondering if instead of doing that what if I ran a 3 inch pipe into the side of the firebox and put a adjustable lid on it to controll the draw into the box, would that work or is ...

Welcome, there is lotsa good info on here

Got it painted yesterday

Yep it did dc , which is over 500 degrees f. Lol ,, anyway , I'll get a new gauge soon and we will see what's going on. I believe it'll serve it's purpose anyway

Wood only no charcoal ,, it was red oak and I did load it up pretty good, the gauges I bought at lowes for $8 bucks a piece charbroil brand made where else.... China

Could it be a bad gauge or gauges there are 2 of em on there and the paint on there never did bubble

Anyway after I got some coals in there it held a perfect 250deg. Just what I wanted. Still have to make vents and make a damper but she is almost done.

Well this is my first build due to my old one rotting out. I used my old frame to put the new build on.

And with the firebox door open I got it up to 600de...

I will get some inside pics for ya later this afternoon. I cranked up the heat to burn off the inside and the paint outside. The floor inside the cook chamber is just the side of on other drum tack welded in there. It was cheaper than buying steel .

Welcome. I am new here too but there is some great info on here

Total cost of build $75 not bad eh
