I think a lot of us have the same issue, puff!


BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

WOW!!!! To each his own I never would make money if I welded and stopped and welded in stopped, heck if I can weld the full length of the baffle plate without a restart that is exactly what I am going to do. I weld my baffle plate solid, it is sealed welded and will hold water. If you work for me I had better see hood down and a blue light surrounding you and as little restarts as possible......... :o :? :-o :ymhug: =))
