Thanks fellas, it means a lot coming from guys that know the amount of work that it takes to build one of these. I'm putting it through it paces now and it's going better than I thought it would for the first test, I'm very happy so far. I knew it would perform well because I used the calculators but I thought there would be a learning curve with the double dampers but it responds very quickly to different adjustments.. DT the counter weight is about 4'' shorter than the outside edge of the fender so it doesn't cause any issues. I tried making it shorter but the door being 3/8'' thick was so heavy that it was hard to open for the first 6'' or so. When I first finished the counterweight I couldn't get over how tall it is but after a few days of looking at it, I started to like the look. It's also nice because my son likes to help me out with the cooking but before he couldn't open the door, now it isn't an issue.Dirtytires wrote: ↑March 17th, 2019, 12:06 pmGreat update...nice addition. Looks really nice on the trailer as well.
How did the test burn go?
That has got to be the tallest counter weight I’ve seen. I’m thinking you should hang a banner off it.
DT, I made the opening from FB to WC 5'' x 5''- 25 total sq in. and CC to WC I made the same as the throat. Looking back, I don't think the CC to WC needs to be that big because I didn't have to open it all the way to even out the temps.Dirtytires wrote: ↑March 17th, 2019, 10:45 pmHow big are your pass-thrus from cc-warmer and from fb-warmer? Just looking to compare to mine....I used a 4 inch pipe but wonder sometimes if it should be bigger. However, it works like I want it to so will probably leave it alone.
