Horizontal New Build

[Big T]

Cool touch on the handles. Is the ash going to fall through the slotted floor of the FB or do you have something else going on ?

Thanks!

Air coming in up thru those slots. Ash going down.

That 1” plate with the slots is the 24x24” square cut out of the facade.

Confession.... I copied the air thru the floor thing from the Lou Ann build on here.

Good lord almighty. Beast. Is it going on a trailer? Love this CC doors. Nice touch with the cutlery.

No sir. It will sit behind our farmhouse. My brother and nephews will use it on occasion, as will I. Poured a slab and will have a shed covering over it. I plan on 4 legs of 4x4 square tubing (1/4”)
Total weight should be about 3400 lbs. I don’t see anyone walking off with it. Lol

And thanks for the nod to the cutlery

I suspect HHH is not to concerned about me taking his knife customers. Lol.

Haha, we've all been there when you just can't wait any longer to fire it up!

[towtruck]

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!

[Bulldogbacchus]

Thank you

Make sure to post some pics of how you mount that FB inside the tank. I'm super interested on how that looks before you put the end back on again. Gonna be sweet!

Welded front and back bottom
Sides rest on the 1/4” walled 2x2 tubing. No way to weld that tubing to the tank wall, but it’s stable and not going anywhere

Tough logistics on that for sure. Very well thought out.
