Thanks, Pete!
We've thought about adding a firebox to one of them many times!!

They came out prefect, the trick is a pizza pan that was shaped to direct the heat up to the top of the chamber and reduce flow. Unfortunately it also made fire management a pain. Hence why I am now building a 120 gal.
Thanks man! I'm all but certain this works best on the little sucka because of the tiny diameter, larger diameter will create a sort of dead spot beyond the hotspot, where the heat hasn't come back down yet so-to-speak.
Actually it does. REALLY REALLY WELL. I'll get a video up soon showing it. I ran a biscuit test last weekend and 100% of the grate cooked PERFECTLY even. No hot spots at all.Brewmaster wrote: Probably not the best idea to go baffle-less paired with the Workhorse-style throat, although it'll work either way. It's easy as anything to add one later on though, good luck with the old girl! You must be almost done the build?
Can't wait to see your design ThinBlue so I can try it on mine, as long as you don't mind?ThinBlue wrote: ↑April 15th, 2022, 8:55 amActually it does. REALLY REALLY WELL.

Absolutely. Sharing is caring. I've learned a ton from Brewmaster and a number of other guys here. Wouldn't be right to withhold.Barrion2018 wrote: Can't wait to see your design ThinBlue so I can try it on mine, as long as you don't mind?
I need to change mine, it has VERY uneven temps accross the grate!
That's excellent! Sounds like it works the same as mine WITH the BAFFLE! lol Cheers brother!ThinBlue wrote: ↑April 15th, 2022, 8:55 amActually it does. REALLY REALLY WELL.

Moi? The Linseed oil "paint" doesn't really discolor in the way that regular linseed oil does, (because it's so heavily pigmented with metal oxides I assume) the hottest areas of the firebox lightened in color slightly so far, I don't expect that to change a lot because I had some big roaring hot fires going in the lil' sucka.ThinBlue wrote: ↑April 15th, 2022, 9:27 amAbsolutely.

Hey Brew how dark do you think the linseed oil paint is going to get? Was it a chore to apply?
