Lol, more 'quickie' time last night. Got the 3rd wheel on and flipped upright:
Finally ready to burn it out! Gonna try to do that this morning before work. Just have to figure out how to get it out of the garage as it's a few inches too tall... While I'm at it- seem to be having an issue with the 3rd wheel. The piece of angle I welded it to twists from the weight it's under, causing the bottom of the legs to drag on the ground. Any ideas for a fix? I was thinking of just running another piece of angle from the inside of the wheel mounting plate up to the bottom of the tank to support it better...

I know mine is a gasser but mine is skinned and sandwiched 3/4 inch of rock wool insulation between the layers. Just a thought to help hold heat.

I am seriously thinking about adding an LP assist, tho. To help with pre-heating and maintaining higher temps/during colder weather. It would only cost me another $30 or so in parts if I use the tank I already have...

Also, some garage door will raise higher if you disconnect the door from the trolley.

Here's a shot of the burn-out: The doors made pretty good air intake controls. The burn turned the lime green paint into a disgusting OD yellow. Can't wait to sand it off. More to come...

Very impressive. I wish I had the skills to build a pit like that. Great job.

Don't be fooled by th pics- my skills were minimal and i learned alot by on-the-fly trial and error. If it werent for the Brethren and my retired welder/fabricator neighbor, i would never hve had th confidence to attempt this build. That being said- dont let anything stop you from persuing your dream pit...

Got a little more done after work today.
Got some welds ground down: Got the supports for the firebox cut and welded in: Cut the hole for the smoke transfer tube in he bottom of the cooking chamber: Test fit fire box: Hole for the transfer tube needs to be widened a little, but eveything is linig up really good. I have to stop somewhere tomorrow and pick up some angle to reinforce the caster- its a beast to steer/manouver by myself and its only going to get heavier from here on out. Thanks for looking!
