Post by: 1buckie on April 06, 2015, 01:51:06 PM: And so the airflow was good?

seems like it's working well just from the pics, but is there anything that needs to change?
Title: Re: my atempt at a internal ash pan (round 2)
Post by: TexasOnion on April 06, 2015, 02:10:52 PM: yea the air flow was great/// after welding the pieces over the gaps I think I got it the way I want it//// took it apart and burned all the finish off in the coals of a brush pile I burnt // and then screwed her back together

Post by: Bubblehead on November 15, 2017, 09:26:56 AM: Instead of burning off zinc coating, why not look up a plating shop that does zinc work and have them strip it. It takes seconds and they will likely do it for free. Just don't make it a habit unless you discuss a price.
