Backyard offset with vertical and insulated FB build (4/21)
Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2015 12:09 am
I decided to do a quick build while on Christmas break and use up some of the left over material I have laying around.
Cooking chamber: 20" diameter x 35" long x 3/8" thick wall pipe
Vertical chamber: 20" wide and deep x 30" tall x 3/16" thick
Firebox: double wall insulated with 2" ceramic wool on all 6 sides, 20 x 20 x 20 outside dimensions
I get all my FB plates cut at a local metal fab shop to exact specifications which makes for easy welding. The entire FB takes half a day from start to perfect finish. Making the insulated door with damper and grinding all the edges of the FB and door smooth take the most time.
I built the vertical chamber this evening, minus the door and door flange. I also torch cut the cooking chamber door minus tabs to allow it to cool tonight.
I wasn't able to upload pics tonight due to internet problems but check back tomorrow evening and I'll try to have some posted.
