Just in case you are interested, I weighted my door so that my door would sit perfectly balanced when the supports were totally level. I figured this was the half way point of the swing and the weight would help me open and close the door. I have no regrets as it works great for me.
One thing to consider is any added weight on either side like endcaps on the tubes or a handle on the door.
Thanks for the advice. Got it pretty well balanced right now, one hand operation. Got an early start today. Gonna finish the liner in the firebox this morning. Getting close to sand and finish, yuck!
Might just pay to have it blasted.
I would put a brace on it. The weight adds up pretty quick when you load them down. I haven't had one break but I've had them sag a little while I was cooking.
