  1. I got the pipe welded in, sorry about the weld pic, the camera was set on black and white (kids) I need to make a stand or feet and something to hold longer stock. Maybe add a small porch too. Then I think I'm read to add the koawool. Looks like I'm out of memory on this site, uploaded pics to a different site and it would not let me link them here. so here the url sorry, until I figure how to post the pic's http://www.pirate4x4...=1&d=1314073581 http://www.pirate4x4...=1&d=1314073581
  2. Coal is $35.20 here for 50lb sack. its imported from Kentucky Long way from Texas
  3. Thanks for the information. I hear ya on the cost of fuel. Good tip on painting the floor with ITC. Is 8" to big? I can do 3 wraps and make it 6" CBA? not sure what that is. I could guess at California Blacksmith assc.
  4. Ok updated profile. Sacramento, ca. I cut the hole for the burner last night, just need to weld in a piece of pipe. couple progress pic's
  5. So without hesitation, I jumped in with both feet. I bought a 3/4" burner from Rex at Hybrid burners. I picked up a 3 20lbs propane tanks from the neighbor when he moved. I cut the end out of one tank with a jig saw and a slot on the back to allow items to pass through. Some of my other supplies arrived. Koawool, itc100, rididizer, the propane regulator and ball valve. I burned the tank in my fire pit for about 15-20 minutes to get the old propane goo out. I sanded the rust and old paint off, plus its been washed with soap and water. I'm ready to drill a hole in the tank for the burner holder. From what I have read it should be about 15° off from top dead center. For the bottom, I just have a common yellow fire brick, I took the grinder and "adjusted it" to fit the tank well. Need to make one more as the tank is about 12" inside. I don't plan to do any welding inside, but could add some ceramic board if that comes up. Can I use ceramic tile on the sides? It would be nice to have some sides that can resist a bump or two. I want to get the burner mounted asap and start working on the wool. I will post pic's later tonight when I get home. Thanks
