Thanks for the comment. I got the idea from a smoker I saw at Cabelas. It took about 5 or 6 iterations of a template to get it close alot of guessing. The down side is they will interfere with the upper cooking rack but I have a plan to compensate for that. Im going to make the upper rack somewhat narrower and have the slide supports cantilevered off the back wall of the CC.Rodcrafter wrote:When you posted the first pic of those hinges, I have to admit I had no idea what you were going to do with them. I don't know why but I was at a loss. The idea is very unusual but very nice.
Making memories!
The handle is fiberglass core with some sort rubber plastic outer. Not wood.SAFETYHARBORREDNECK wrote:Careful with that wooden handle.Mine got pretty hot so I changed it.
That is a flat high temp gasket .It's not a hazard no one sells anything asbestos anymore. I use it on my annual boiler tear down/ cleaning that and the rope of many different sizes use some of the high heat RTS it should stay if you get it on a clean surface.Tim Brann wrote:Yeah its like an asbestos but I'm sure its not asbestos material with a self adhesive strip. You just cut your desired length peel of the backing and stick it on.Higee wrote:great work, what is that high heat tape.
Thanks big t I will make BP 4" awayBig T wrote:1/4'' is the minimum recommended thickness for the BP and 2''-6'' is the range from BP to bottom rack. I make my BP in the 3.5''-4'' range if possible but anywhere in the range is fine. The chimney looks great!
