Letting the RTV dry overnight then tacking up some hinges!

Ha, Ha yep!!! Was sort of a B!@#$%tch cutting out the cap though...I don't have a good circle cuting jig for the plasma... so it's a little off but it'll do... My Ranch Welding and Fab skills are getting better though.

P.S. Will put a horseshoe handle on the Ash Pan Drawer too...

Looks good. Oxy torches leave a little to be desired in the precision department don't they? Have you got a goal time to be firing up?

Racks just about done!

Here's what I came up with for my charcoal basket... not sure about the placement/height etc. We shall see... if It doesn't work out I can always drop it down some.. I wanted it high enough to get good air flow underneath the coals... but it may be a little high to add logs to... I can always build another one that hangs lower!!

WOW! You should be feeling pretty good about the outcome of your efforts. That is becoming one sweet rig there. I would love to have one that size at my house. Good Job!

Working on some cart reinforcement and finishing touches before I fire this up and start doing a burn in. My little nuematic tires were quite strained under the weight... so rather than going with biger tires and having to re-do the height etc. of the casters... I did this... Does it turn on a dime like it used to.. No... Does it look pretty cool.. I think so!!!!! LOL

Tandem axels, that works. Hey the cooker is not like everyone elses, and it is easy to see now isn't it? We know how to get things done.
