Forgotten detail
I finished my mini a year ago and have been having fun with it ever since, although I tried to share as many details of my build along the way and my experiences building it I forgot to mention a detail that I felt saved some work. Rather than skin the door opening face with strips and having to weld and grind I split the upper and lower horizontal tubes at the firebox/charcoal chute enclosure and offset it the thickness of the skin so the tubing ended up flush with the skin. Just thought I'd share.

Re: Forgotten detail
Excellent tip... thanks

Re: Forgotten detail
Great idea. Did this affect the interior skins much?

No affect at all, your actually only offsetting the tube 1/16"Roamingbirdbbq wrote:Great idea. Did this affect the interior skins much?
