Nah. It's just fusion welded so no filler. It's very small plus the gasket space it fits perfectly.
Thanks. I did good up on the hinges. When I did it originally I put the hinges on so that the moving part was on the tank and not the door so it wouldn't rub as it opened and closed. When I put it together the second time I overlooked this. I just need to file a little so it doesn't become an issue. Lesson learned.Cole Leffert wrote: ↑October 18th, 2020, 7:20 amLooking great! I also like how you did the hinges! Gives it a real clean look!
Great idea with the fusion weld. Never crossed my mind. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah with tig welding it's something I use often. All the exhaust I build for motorcycles each joint has 3-5 good hot tacks then the rest of the joint I weld with no filler. Makes a nice clean smooth joint. Tig is nice for some things but it's also much more time consuming then zapping with a mig. That's next on my list.
That's exactly why you'll notice so many project bikes in my shop. I woke in one until I get stuck then I move over to another.Saskattak wrote: ↑October 18th, 2020, 3:59 pmIf building these smokers was easy, no one who own a pellet grill lol.
And I fully agree on the taking a step away from a project. You get consumed i the same thoughts until you break that cycle. Waking away makes the AH-HA moment reslly kick in. Definitely did that building up my Xterra offroader

The intake will no longer be underneath. It will be in the door.
That's something I hadn't thought about...hmm.Big T wrote: ↑October 18th, 2020, 10:00 pmIf your fire basket isn't the full height of the FB door then you can add some short legs to the bottom of the basket with flat plate on it. You'd be surprised at how much ash they'll hold. An opening in the bottom will also work but it needs to be air tight or it can cause issues with controlling the temperature.
