I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be right. My FB is made out of the same pipe as the CC. I stuck pretty firm with the calculator on my FB being 1/3 the size of the CC. I'm going to go ahead and try with the current design but if it seems like the added weight negates the stability, it will be easy enough to add the extension on to the frame. Thanks for the input!Dirtytires wrote:Depending on how heavy your firebox is going to be, you might consider extending your frame and putting the wheels under it to better balance the weight. Mine is double walled and has a big warmer box on top. I put my wheels at the half way point but should have gone even farther back as my weight distribution is off quite a bit.
Oops, I just saw your other thread with this information.ACC wrote: What are the dimensions of your pipe?
Enlighten me...I had not planned on inner flanges on the CC door, just outer. Is this going to present a problem for me?ACC wrote:
Others warned me and I found out that welding inside flanges on the CC door was a real pain. Before you go too far on the build, you might want to weld the inside flanges while you can still roll the pipe in its cradle. I wish I had.
