A LITTLE PROGRESS. I GOT THE WARMING CABINET DOOR FRAMED. I ALSO GOT ALL OF THE COOK RACK RAILS INSTALLED.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET CLAMPS TO HOLD MY COOK CHAMBER DOOR SHUT TIGHT?
WHAT SIZE WORKS BEST?
I WAS GOING TO ADD A FEW PICS BUT MY TOOL BAR IS MISSING FOR SOME REASON. I WILL TRY AGAIN.

FOR SOME REASON THE ONLY WAY I CAN POST ANYTHING IS TO CLICK ON THE FULL PAGE EDITOR
I HAVE NO TOOL BAR TO ADD PICTURES.
AT THE BOTTOM OF MY LAPTOP SCREEN IT SAYS ERROR ON PAGE.
THE REPLY BOX IS ALL BLUE AND WILL NOT LET ME POST ANYTHING UNLESS I CLICK ON THE FULL PAGE EDITOR.
I HAVE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL NOTHING.
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE?
NOT SURE IF I HAVE MESSED SOMETHING UP OR IF THE SITE IS MESSED UP?
ANY IDEAS?

I STILL CANN'T POST ANYTHING FROM MY LAPTOP. I HAVE TO USE THE WIFE'S. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG.
I GOT MY COOK RACKS DONE. I ALSO GOT SOME GOODIES IN THE MAIL TODAY.
MY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED IN MAY AND WANTS TO SMOKE PORK LOINS. I NEED TO GET THIS THING DONE AND START PRACTICING.
I HAVE GOT A FEW MORE THINGS DONE, AND I HAD OUR COMPUTER GUY AT WORK CHECK OUT MY LAP TOP. I CAN POST NOW BUT I AM STILL MIISING THE TOOL BAR USED TO ADD PICS. HOPEFULLY I WILL GET IT WORKING SOON.
Beautiful build. I used toggle clamps. They will push your warp out and seal your doors fairly tight. There's a store on line for them. Thetoggleclampstore.com I believe. Something like $5-$6 w/shipping. They take less than a week to get.
You will find your firebox will be fine because of insulation. The worse problem you will have with it will be you will have to add a little air flow to your fire. My fires in my 350 g tanks at most use just a 1/4" crack in air inlet door.
Again GREAT job!

MY COOK CHAMBER DOOR FITS REALLY GOOD. I THINK I WILL NEED JUST A SMALL CLAMP TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT TIGHT WHEN TRAVELING. MY FIRE BOX DOOR WARPED QUITE A BIT AND I AM GOING TO TRY TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT A BIT. I GOT MY 7/8" ROPE GASKET AND I THINK IT WILL SEAL GOOD IF I CAN GET SOME OF THE WARPING STRAIGHTENED OUT. WE HAVE A LARGE PRESS AT WORK THAT I WILL USE TO STRAIGHTEN THE DOOR. I TRIED USING THE OUTRIGGER ON MY 28000 # SERVICE TRUCK AND IT DID NOT WORK. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH THE PRESS.
I USUALLY OVER DO THINGS. WHAT SIZE TOGGLE CLAMPS DO YOU RECOMMEND TO HOLD THE FIREBOX DOOR SHUT TIGHT?
I JUST NEED TO FINISH THE FIREBOX DOOR AND WARM CABINET DOOR AND GET TEMP GAUGES INSTALLED THEN I CAN GIVE THIS MONSTER A TRY. I WANT TO USE IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE I GET READY TO PAINT IT. I AM SURE I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE A FEW THINGS AFTER USING IT A LITTLE.

Like usual, I went big with 500 lb clamps. I don't think it was a mistake and they're not goddy. I used 2 on my firebox doors. They do work great.
Keep up the good work
Keep up the good work
I HAVE A COUPLE HANDLES TO FINISH AND I NEED TO INSTALL THE TOGGLE CLAMPS TO KEEP THE DOORS SHUT TIGHT. AFTER THAT I AM READY TO FIRE THIS THING UP AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. I WANT TO RUN IT A LITTLE BEFORE I BLAST AND PAINT IT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I THINK THAT I WANT TO BLAST AND PAINT BEFORE I INSTALL THE DOOR SEALS BUT I AM NOT SURE.
DO I NEED TO BEAD BLAST THE INSIDE OF THE CC? IT HAS JUST SOME LIGHT SURFACE RUST ON THE INSIDE OF THE TANK. I THINK I WANT IT AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SEASONING IT.
I ASSUME IT IS BEST TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING FINISHED, BLASTED, AND PAINTED BEFORE I SEASON IT. I FIGURED THAT I WOULD BLAST THE WHOLE THING INSIDE AND OUT THEN BLOW WHAT I CAN OUT OF THE INSIDE WITH THE AIR HOSE THEN VAC THE REST OUT REAL GOOD. NEXT I WILL PRIME AND PAINT THEN INSTALL DOOR SEALS. AFTER THE PAINT IS CURED A COUPLE DAYS THEN SEASON THE INSIDE. SOUND GOOD?
