Latest Update:
Yesterday I was able to finish up the racks, install door handles, finish up chimney, install thermometers, get main chamber door put in place. Had to heat up round stock 1/2" in the BGE to get it to bend for handles and the hinges on the main chamber. Put in some stops behind the hinges on the main chamber to keep the door up. Thinking now about adding a handle partway down the door to help get it open and to help reach it to close it.
To finish up tonight I need to put one more slide vent in the front of the firebox, get the final latches on the main chamber, clean up the inside, spray it down with some oil and fire it up. I am going to wait a little while to paint it, maybe a week or so, once I do a couple of cooks to make sure I don't want to mod anything further.
The light is there at the end of the tunnel!
