Lol. Yes! She’s funny about it too - kind of mad at me for selling it. Didn’t see that coming. Ah well. On the the next one.tinspark wrote: ↑March 16th, 2021, 11:49 pmLooks good Dave! I remember this one. This was your first build one this site if I do recall/ Man, hard to get rid of these things after spending so much time with them. The Mrs/ has referred to mine as "the other woman" a few times LOL!! They seem to become like part of the family
Thanks Big T. Yup. Was worried they wouldn’t hold the weight. Holding up like a champ.
Just sent you a PM.FredyzBBQ wrote:Well, I don't think I ever posted here but was going to when I built this 18" x 38" inside dimension Octagon Smoker for a friend. He had one problem with it we sorted out I could probably explain why with photos. This is the first one I've ever built. But you can see not the first time I've built something or welded.
I'm going to have some questions especially for you because you built the reverse flow and it's an octagon too. I intend to make this second one a reverse flow. I see you had some temp fluctuations. Hopefully I can avoid that by talking to you. Well anyway I'm Fred and here is my First Build.
Hopefully these images load ok too. You might have to wait a moment, they are all about half a meg and my site is not that fast and it's been a long time since posting on a PHPbb board for me.
I really like your build. May I ask why you put the air holes on the side of the firebox like that instead of the end where the door is? Curious about that.dacolson wrote: ↑April 4th, 2021, 3:48 pmFinished the refurb for the buyer on my first pit build. The wheels are not my style but I can’t help be pleased with how it all turned out. Test burn today and it heats up great. Better than the original fb design. The new FB door stayed true as well. A hit with the surface prep wheel on a couple rusty spots and a little linseed oil and it will be on its way to a new home.
