Ceramic wool

I tacked some nails to the firebox walls to help hold up the ceramic wool during the install. Worked well.

Way to go.

I used that nail method on mine...it’s appears to still be holding.

The firebox is all insulated. I added an opening on the top so I can add a warming box if I want in the future. I am down to little things like latches and handles and paint. Close to a test fire!!!

Hate to be a kill joy, but I found the latches and detail work to take a crazy amount to time. Looks good tho.

details seem to take longer than the build...

Almost done with the build! Got the ash pan done and latches are ready to mount. I just need to install the gasket on the doors and finish the dampers on the chimneys and paint!

Highly recommend cooking on it 6-8 times before you paint it. It’s easier to adjust your metal work if needed before paint. I, for one, am still making small adjustments and additions to my pit—-even after 3 years of it being ‘finished.’ I am getting super close now tho....just a few more mounting brackets.

Good advice, I won’t have much time for tweaks Becca we are trying to open June 1 but I will get some cooks in for sure.
