Did some cutting today took me 2 cutting disks. not bad for that gauge of steel. I went through more blades cutting through the side of the tank than the firebox. I cut the firebox to 28in long. I hope that will be enough.

Oh man... you screwed up! The firebox should have been at least 28.5 inches... Now she'll never cook right... :dgrin:



Seriously. Looks like your off to a great start! Sure wish I had the skills to tackle my own build.
