Yetti Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 well got some welding done today. I am almost out of wire and gas. got the tray supports welded in tonight. now I can build to fit the tray to the tank body. should be done soon enough. had to take some 4" x 44" strips of tank material to work and use the bender there to form it. made short work of it with the right tools :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron woodrow Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 mine is stitch welded together, possibly for easier claening, possibly for saving wire and gas, but it works very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiths Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 You've given me a new perspective: Your chimney is my forge! Gotta start somewhere though, right? And man, would I love to find an $18 blower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yetti Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) well my son started working on it again. I had my other knee replaced so I have been home most of the summer so far. need one more piece over the air throat to neck it down.

Yetti Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Finally its fired up! me and my son played a bit just to see how the chimminy drafted. its a bit off yet as we need to cut in the front for the smoke box. in the one pic you can see the flame being sucked between the tray and the fire box wall.
