It would have been cost prohibitive, had I not gotten a deal from my friends that own the shop. Also, on the next build, I will make the CC+FB in one assembly, and the frame/cart another, and bolt them together. That way the hot parts can get the hi temp coatings, and the frame can simply be powder coated or painted. With mine welded together, had to go with the Ceracote on the whole works. Only exceptions being the bolt on front shelf, and the drop in grate in the bottom of the stand. They got powder coated. Break in burn #1 tomorrow evening!
