While I'm building The Little One, I started on My Big One. MENS style out of a 40gallon gas water heater.
Here is where I am at. Tank skinned( saving the outer shell for a heat shield), 8x8in door opening, middle intake tube cut.
door cut. Used a Cutting disc to start the cut, then used a Saws All to continue the cut. The Harbor Freight metal bit lasted longer than expected but I still had to go out and get a Lenox? blade to finish it up.
pipe cut for iron pan. I wanna make the height between the air inlet and iron pan adjustable, I think I will make a platform out of a piece of steel with a threaded rod and have a nut welded so i can just spin the platform and it will adjust the height of the pan.
I got the hinges and latch for the door, gotta get time to put them on. Picked up hardware for the drip feed. Then get the stack figured out.
