getting the chimney mod back on track

[Mark]

I'm gonna do it. Here's how: about 10" square stainless steel bent in a "U" and pop rivited on. I've already got everything I need.

BTW: for those of you in STL, Didion Recycling in St. Peters has the perfect stainless steel scraps ((636) 397-6060). I'm guessing a buck or 2 total for the required materials.

PS: with the stainless inverted U on the outside of the stack, the original damper should still work (mabe just a little grinding).

Just went out to the garage and cut a 10" by 3.25" piece of aluminum (from the dryer vent tube I used to make the heat baffle) and it will sit in a U shape just inserted in the smoke stack with the natural tension of the aluminum. It looks like a good temp. rain hat.

GSThat'll work too but stainless should add some class.

whats the big deal? My mod was easy.

I talked to John Didion (Didion and Sons in St. Peters) a few days ago. I’ve sold him a few Cars. He made me a cover for a well I have see Pic.

Anyway he agreed to try and copy the Klose basket for me in a size that will fit the Bandera. I think I’ll take him up on his offer. If it works out all right I’ll ask about making them in some kind of Vol.

Dave, Als working on a basket for us that wil fit the bandera. Its just as hefty as the Klose model and the floor is even better cause its made out of re-bar.

I’ve heard the prototype has something like 3,748 miles on it. Shipped back and forth 7 times now?

This Didtion Guy has a pretty good size foundry. He called me for something unrelated, and asked me how the smoking was going. I asked him to make me a baffle a couple months ago. (Ended up making it my self) so he was just asking and I said have you ever heard of a charcoal basket. One thing leads to another and he said he’d do his best to copy it.

If you guys supply me with some measurements not Cad or any thing. I can ask about making it in numbers. Or you may have your own leads for production. It sounded like Als doing this in his spare time. I know spare time is hard to come buy for me.

Was anybody else get stuck (scratching my head) trying to figure out what the quarter was doing in a sea of beer foam in the first picture? Glad I didn't gut stuck there, and found the second one.

[Davewey]

Has any one noticed that this thread has nothing to do with chimney mods, as the title implies?

[david]
