Haha well hopefully I can use the new smoker to get as good a result as I can with my keg.Yeah the castors are a rip. Iam still thinking about castors at the opposite end of the fb so i can swing it close to the wall for storage. But maybe because the fb is so heavy i might even be able to lift the oppisite end with my pinki finger in this case i wont go with casters. You probably dont want to get small castors because the bloody things wouldnt even roll over a garden hose. I was told bunnings has some 100mm (4 inch) ones that are cheep. I havent checked them out yet.
Dont be embarrassed about ur welds. More pics the better. People wont be worried about your welds....when they would be more worried about dropping the meat on tha floor coz its soo mouth watering tender
that is a pretty good site for castors. I cant belive the colour options or even how many other option there are. Unfortunately for me iam in australia and if they were willing to post to australia it would be so expensive... those castors bazza posted thats $26 AUD and more then likely made in china. But kingddemo thats a nice find and those castors will do nicely. Look nice and strong tooI found these at castorconnection.com in the vintage section. They are 8" diameter X 2" wide & rated 1100# each for $29.40. Not sure what the shipping will be, but these are a better deal compared to what you are looking at now. I'm going to order 2 for the front end of mine.
Hahaha well looking at your metal skills I suspect part of building one of these is because you CAN! I'm not sure if you've played around with American style BBQ much but once you start down that road there's absolutely no turning back. It seems to be getting really popular here in Perth at the moment. I can think of at least 4 joints that have opened in the last year or so!Bazza iam glad you no why your building a reverse smoker because i still have no idea why i am. I actully need a cold smoker maybe thats the next project.
And about the fire grate it is fully removeable. Just sits on angle thats welded to the side of the fire box. I rekon this took longer to make and weld then what my wheels did
