Used Felton's calc and ended up with a 71" CC, 23" SC. Grates and smoke stack are next. I'll post more when I get it back from the shop. Should be announcing my first smoke by Easter.

I'm about 3 months into my first build. Mostly a couple of hours a week here and there, but it 's coming along nicely. I don't weld or fabricate, self taught with equipment I purchased second hand. Pretty standard story I imagine. Here we go: http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160319/7aaa7ffb72be6f98...

Thinking about sanding the pit down to shiny metal and applying a poly coat.

Is there a poly coat that is heat resistant?

Or is paint my only real option?

Chose the millermatic. $450.00 got me everything you see and like someone just said, if I'm patient and do a good bevel job, it should be plenty of welder for me. I'm pumped! I'm pleased too because it seems like new and I have a dealer nearby if I have any trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm also looking at a Hobart 210 MVP today. If you had to choose between the two is it a coin flip since they are essentially the same manufacturer?

It came with two complete sleeves of rods, so I've got plenty to spare. I'll keep you guys posted and share some progress pics Sent from my i...

Well, its somewhat of a relief that you think I got a fair deal on everything. I jump them gun on the welder, which I'm inclined to do. I think I'll will repost the welder for sale and focus on finding the proper MIG for the job. That said, do you think I can complete the job weigh the Lincoln 125 H...

I do not weld. Currently obsessed with building my own off-set. Got two 150 gal tanks filled with water at the moment and now I am shopping welders/torch etc. Responded to a local ad Sunday, showed up at this very old gentleman house and saw the brand Miller and though " i cant go wrong". Paid $275....

Thanks. You are correct, I'm at work on my phone so there you go.
I thought that was high for the unit.

Any thoughts on my question regarding the size of MIG I would need to complete the build?

I've was recent posts. Lots to say regarding brands. Very helpful. I am prepping to start my first build. 150 gallon propane tank. 24x84. I imagine it's 3/16 to 1/4 thick. If anyone has insight here that would be helpful. My question is what size rig do I need to weld this tank? I've looked around o...
