Last one! M Code Blue OT+
« on: May 19, 2014, 05:36:55 PM »
Sorry for all the posts but it's been a good few weeks in the kettle department! She still needs a little work (handles, sweep and wheels) but otherwise is coming together nicely. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the original rusted out sweep system?

A dremel or grinder will make quick work of that rusted out ash sweeper.

I've even drilled down into where the thumbscrew is broken off like his & both sides of the handle popped right out......easier to cut one or both sides right next to the hex.....if one, then use a centerpunch to tap what's left out the other side.............

That looks great!

I removed an old ash sweeper with my 4' grinder. Just be careful you don't touch the bowl. Everything pretty much falls apart once you get rid of the sweeper handle.
