Did I read the door correct? Michigan City ND?...
A guy at work brought in this stove door said I could have it. I might just make it work on the FB of my build.

I think it’s INDBeen following silently until now
Did I read the door correct? Michigan City ND?
That's about an hour from my Minnesota home. Didn't think their was any industry there.
Yes it is. I am actually going to build a receiver hitch for it to hook to the sxs.Your gonna have to use the SXS to pull that thing around! Its gonna be a monster.

Thanks and it is coming along. Few oops along the way but for my first build I am happy so far. Tank is level so as long as FB is level I will be good lol. I will certainly need more practice at that. I have been trying to do the same when welding but it’s at the point I can’t flip it. Don’t have the room or hoist big enough lol.That smoker is coming along nicely...It's gonna be nice!
I can relate to your struggle with overhead welds. As an amateur myself, I always do everything I can to plan for as many easy, horizontal weld positions as possible. But sometimes it's just necessary to run a weld over your head.
And the brisket and sammies look terrific!

…….and get a few new sets of coveralls….lol
lol. Yes gonna have to do a lot of practicing after I am done with this build. I want to be able to do it on my own if I ever build another smoker. Thank u it is getting there for sure.I agree with Red, it’s coming together rather nicely….
Vertical and upside down welding is all about welder tuning, puddle control, and clean surfaces….and practice practice….. when I was taking classes….welding vertical and upside down for 2-3 hours a day for 3-4 weeks will make you appreciate the learning…….and get a few new sets of coveralls….lol
lol yeah I think I have some bald spots alsoAin't that the truth LOL! I've burned holes in every article of work clothing I own running overhead beads...and a few holes in myself from time to time!

Thanks and they were very good. Made some more today with the leftover brisket. The build is moving along. Actually a little faster than I thought it would.Smoker is coming along! And those brisket patty melts look killer!
