Thanks 4ever3 and Minjin the problem I'm having with the 1/8th inch plate is its flimsiness. Seems like everytime I turn my head it bends out of shape.. and we only have a stickwelder.. switched from 7018 Rod to 6013 to accomadate the thinner metal but its still fighting us every step of the way..

You sure you are in Jonesboro ?

Got her finished yesterday finally! Or finished enough to take to the family reunion this weekend.. She needs another coat of paint or 2 but I will take her tomorrow 6 hours to McComb, Mississippi. Its been raining here so much that it has made painting her very difficult. We have the thermos and Wooden floors installed (came on the trailer). Ready to load her down with wood and then tomorrow the long ride to sunny weather in Southern Mississippi!

Installed this many Thermos to shorten up the learning curve.. Cooking a lot of Food on Saturday really trying not to burn anything up so the added thermos help me keep track of temps and I just like the way it looks lol
