Thanks Leroy.  I hadn't thought about sand instead of bricks.

Josh, I thought about the double stacker.  I'll see if I can talk the welder into it. 

Pauly,  The welder told me to avoid galvanized to.  The exhaust pipe is aluminized steel.  He said it would be fine.

I appreciate it Pauly.  That was the first thing he told me when I asked him to help.

I'm sure not only did he want you not to be breathing it but I'll guarantee you even more so he did not want to weld it. Welding galvanized without exhaust and a respirator is bad news

That will work well for your work area. Looks like two tanks cut and welded would get you a bigger stove or hey a smoker with a little more time and cutting.

We decided to go with a double tank design.  We got them cut and he is welding them together right now.

Clint, I wish I had known you needed a brake drum. I have a dump truck drum I had planned to make a forge from. An older fella gave me a forge , so now I have no need for it. I would have brought it to the Classic.

Thanks anyway Wildman.  We are going to do something different anyway.  We called it a day after it was welded back together.  We are going to work on it some more this weekend.

Are you going to try to make it air-tight?

Knoll:  Thanks.  I have a job that allows to much time to think about and research stuff to make.  I hope other members can benefit from my projects.  I sure appreciate all the comments and suggestions.


Thanks Tracy!


DC: What do you mean by air tight?  We are going to weld in a square frame and door.  I think we are going to make a small damper below the door to control air flow.
