ThomasPowers Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'd say bolts with beveled edges. Not that they can be replaced with such if you drill them out even if they were not to start with. Why do you feel the need to remove them?

Stash Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Like Thomas said, bolts threaded into the firepot. Chances are good that they have become one with the firepot. If you take things apart, you will have an awkward time re drilling and threading for new bolts. This is from personal experience. If you dont need to take it apart, don't.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I vote for not taking it apart too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 You'll do yourself nothing but unnecessary work for no good reason trying to replace the bolts. They only have to withstand the air blast, leave em be till they break and let the grand kids deal. Frosty The Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
