    Len,  Thanks, thinking ribs if work doesn't interfere. Wolfman, Thanks, forgot to weigh it, will see if I can remember if I store it for the winter (maybe there will be some decent days this winter).  Anyway it didn't collapse the deck. Regards,  Earl

    Hi Gary,  Thank you.  Yes, very helpful, more to get the hang of it than I thought. Had a pretty big fire stoked up.  Will use your & Dave's suggestions  the next time out.  Regards,  Earl

    Len,  The seal looked pretty good, didn't see smoke leaking around the lid. Dave,  OK, will try that next time, probably read that somewhere in your posts & promptly forgot it. Thank you,  Earl

    Hi,  Gave it a try today, oiled up with pam: Started with too big a fire maybe for the firebox which is a little oversize.  Anyway it ran a little hot at 300F.  Stack is a little tall also.  I guess it's fire for effect next time.  Regards,  Earl

    Starting a 30 gal offset

    Hi,  Got the lid sealed, forgot whose idea this was.  Used scotch tape instead of saran wrap, which worked well.  Tape applied. Used red hi-temp silicone.  This shows upper cured bead and freshly applied on side & bottom. Regards,  Earl

    Starting a 30 gal offset

    Hi Ultra,  Thanks, will weigh the thing when (if) it's done, been getting razzed about having to reinforce the deck it's going on.  The chimney is aluminum 4" dia by about 24" ex-grain spout made removable to make it easier to tarp the thing.  The insulation is definitely an experiment, will...
