NightCap

Looks very very good, well done! Do you have a clinker breaker? If not then don't even bother with the bottom cap as the clinker won't fall through.

I had to go look up Clinker Breaker to see what is was. So no would be my answer. I haven't use cole yet so I don't think I have seen any clinkers.

you might have a problem taking the cap off the bottom to clean it out...might want to use shorter pipe on both the top and bottom...

Yeah, that was a point of great discussion. We wound up setting the top hub into a metal ring. It will lift up. But we also think we will get a shorter bottom tube.

A word of advice from Captain Caution;"You need a bigger base".

It seems pretty stable. We were worried about that too.

It took a while to find the time but we got the forge done last night. The forge is now up and running. Works pretty darn good. Splitting the square tube for the stand, worked better than expected.
