I would, but don't have any steel stock to make one with. There's a place not too far away that sells scaffold poles for 60p (around 75 cents) a foot, so could have a long enough stack and two decent legs for a few dollars.
I don't disagree, this ancient stick welder has a mind of it's own. Same steel, same cleanliness, same angle, same size of arc and one looks like the nice one above and then next just blows chunks. Hopefully the new mig will be ordered before the end of next month.hogaboomer wrote: ↑July 7th, 2020, 7:05 pmNothing wrong with that weld. Some of the other ones look a little questionable, though.
That's pushing it a bit! I'd say more bodging with a bit of artistic licence.
Cheers pal, need to grab some chain next time I'm at the hardware store.Dirtytires wrote: ↑July 8th, 2020, 12:51 pmDon’t beat yourself up with the door springing a bit. Most of the time it’s not your fault. A good percentage of tanks will release tension unevenly as they are cut and will spring a little. This is easily fixed with a chain and bottle jack tho.
Aye cheers - it's getting a wash out today before the proper stuff.
Yes it is galvanised, but I've run a wire brush down the inside chimney sweep style, and as it's the flue I didn't think it would matter that much. It's had two mega hot burnouts as well.Dirtytires wrote: ↑July 11th, 2020, 11:11 amAbsolutely nothing wrong with a long chimney. If it ever gets to the point of being too long, you can always add two chimneys of half the length and mount them side by side.
Did I hear you say the chimney pipe was galvanized? Most of us don’t like to use galvanized material in a smoker.
