I have made some mods to my fire box on my Spicewine. The charcoal basket in previous thread. Don't know if I did this right but here goes.
The bolt with a little bit larger nuts welded to ash pan and inserted in top of fire grate, keep both ash pan and fire grate together when pulled in and out. This keeps the ash and hot coals from dropping all over everything.
Corner extensions and and upright taps keep the pan and grate from tilting down to much. I will weld a tab, or drill a small hole and put a bolt in at the end of the channel iron so the tabs will hit it and stop them from falling out if I pull it out to far, which I have already done. The extension on the back side of the grate keeps it from being pushed to far into the smoker.
I may do the same to the cooking racks at a later date. I know my welds are not as nice as Jay and Steve's but they will hold. Geess I can't leave anything alone, sorry Jay. :icon_blush:
