I am using #9 - 3/4"
What size expanded metal did you use? Went to pick up some of the supplies I need. Shop I am getting everything from ordered me "flattened" expanded metal...it was less sharp....if that makes any sense....
I got mine from harbor freight tools for $6 ea. they are big and heavy. See picture. I bolted them on with 4 1/4" stainless bolts each, instead of welding in case they ever do need to be replaced. I also changed out the pin that holds the lid down and used carriage bolts instead of the robber bumpers that came with them.
Toggle clamps came today.... Man they sure are Puny suckers. Going to put them in the parts bin. They just don't look right compared to the size of the smoker. I ordered the next biggest size.
Looks good! How did you seal your CC Door? How about your FB?

Lavalock Grill gasket is what I'm trying for the CC. I did not gasket the FB as of now. I'm going to see how it runs first.

That's why they say "you have to make hay while the sun is shining" You will have time and money soon enough.Been busy at work. I have not touched the smoker. I will finish it but I don't know exactly when. $$ is too good working right now to stop!
Hey, I am right there with you in putting the "slow" in low and slow.
