So I got the cc door on with some basic hinges. I started with something more fancy but it didn't work well. Then I got the hinges on. Everything worked well until I welded it solid. Now for some strange reason every thing is all bound up. What a PITA!!!
There are a few different reasons why that stuff happens. But don't let it bother you, try the types of hinges you see others using and be careful to line them up with each other and you will have success.
Current Smokers: Backyard RF Offset and Hybrid RF Offset trailer rig with Cowboy cooker and fish fryer, always room for more........
So my list is all but complete. A grate for the fb and a latch. Thermometer and some paint. Also I bought some hi temp Rtv to try to seal the door. Has anyone ever used that?
I have heard of making a gasket from rtv using wax paper but I have never tried it. They say it works as long as there is only a small gap that you're trying to seal up.
I wanted to do a test burn before I painted. Charcoal to start and three splits of oak. Two two hours at 250 degrees. Im pretty happy with it. Unfortunately this is sold.
