First few hours of work and first time holding a weldertorch

We choose to cut open the cylinder and release some tension.

That’s awesome! I cut the pipe for my next build a bit ago but haven’t welded in the spacer. Mine sprung just under 2”. Looks like yours is the same. I don’t have room in the shop to work further on it till I finish the two pits I have going now so I’m eager to see how your doors cut. Looks great!

Ends are on and door is out

No major disvorming as far as I can see.

Firebox ended up on the left of the bbq instead of the right by accident, hahaha…….maybe I’ll change that around??

Lotta cutting! Nice job.

Another day of work.
Decided to cut the ends lose and put the FB on the right side.

Liked this weld the best, rest we’ll not show, hahaha

And here the bottom of the FB, around I’ll make a squarebox.

Oh man! Is that the fire grate? Are you putting vents underneath? Can’t wait to see. Very interesting.

Chriz · Post by **Chriz** » April 17th, 2021, 3:23 pm

Yes it is [emoji56]
Here is a drawing with a slice through view (probably not the correct english name for it…hahaha).

I see wheels, are you planning on moving that thing around much? It looks like it's going to weigh a ton.

dacolson · Post by **dacolson** » April 17th, 2021, 8:01 pm

Love that. It should work great.

Chriz · Post by **Chriz** » April 18th, 2021, 1:49 am

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

hogaboomer · Post by **hogaboomer** » April 18th, 2021, 8:24 am

Yep, no wheels on the front is what I was looking at.

Dirtytires · Post by **Dirtytires** » April 18th, 2021, 9:11 am

Steel wheels are hard to move on just about anything but smooth concrete.

Chriz · Post by **Chriz** » April 24th, 2021, 9:18 am

Steel is more stubborn then my kids……but we got it to fit!

The outside corners are much harder to weld then the inside ones…….

It looks great!!
