I dont have a search feature because im not a paid subscriber yet. Otherwise, I would have searched for it. 319 pages is a lot to manually search for and could take me weeks.
I like it! The bottom of the Weber looks like a good idea. What keeps it from sliding off in windy weather?
Ron, I like your hitch pin idea. It can be tricky getting the botton grate in and out with stationary bolts for the top grate. Nice idea bro. I would be very leary of only using three points to hold any grate. From experience, it may surprise you how easy it is to dump a brisket into the bottom of your barrel. Four points would be a lot safer. Keep us posted as it looks great so far. Hope the fire basket works out. It might make a real hot spot in the center of the grate. Let us know.
now im just waiting on the hi temp paint to dry on the inside....
Whoa, whoa, whoa....you shouldn't paint the inside....
You want bare metal on the inside.
hmmmm.....too late now Why not tho, it shouldn't effect its ability to hold heat and it should add a little protection (along with seasoning it) against rust.
dang it..... can i burn it off, or am i stuck having to grind it all off?
ok, i flew through the anger phase...and on to acceptance. Gonna make a call to a local sandblasting co tomorrow. Any idea on what type of prices i can expect for that?
