Shades of Pac Man! It looks galvanized out side, is it? Hey, is that a picture of Saddam on the wall?? I would suggest adding an astragal on it.

Trevor,

rest assured, many have had trouble with their first picture posts. It is a little picky, but what a great feature!

Looks like good work, but:

Rocky D's comment about galvanized is kinda serious ... lead and tin from galvanize that get air borne with heat can do serious brain damage. If you burn it off good in a very open space with ventilation the danger is reduced. Sorry if this seem like a turd in your punch bowl, but better you should know.

I was with an Army group once that made an ad hoc grill out of a "no tresspassing" sign ... with paint and galvanize. Grilled hamburgers and had a nice lunch. I'm still OK, or so it seems to me.... how do you tell.

at least I can still type!

no its not galvinized if it was it wouldnt rust would it cause its got some rust not that much on the inside but its got a little more on the outside
and that picture on the wall thats a picture of my buddy saddam after we spent the day at the shooting range you can't tell from that pic but his head is full of 45cal holes

Nice set up what are you going to do for legs?

[Trevor]

i still havent decided exactly what i want to do but im thinking a cart out of like 2inch angle with some heavy duty tires
with a big cutting board suface wraped around the front and side I was also thinking of how to make a slide out grill for easy charcoal replacement I'm open to any ideas and if anyone knows anyplace to get stuff like handles and thermometers it would be much appriciated

[Trevor]

heres a better view of the rust

[Trevor]

does this closeup look galvanized ? that would really suck

For wheels, what about 2-3" sections of 8" pipe, with spokes made out of 1/4" rod (Or whatever) and smaller diameter tube in the center to fit over the axle? Lasts forever and can't burn, go flat, etc.. New Braunfels BBQs has a line of "Oklahoma Joe's" smokers that are made out of heavy plate and pipe. Worth crusing by a home, sports or farm store to get some measurements and ideas. Good luck, eat too much!

It looks exactly like the old galvanized water tank I used to have.

FlashBlind, If Trevor soesn't live in the Sooner state, he may not be able to get one. New Braunfels sells those to you Okies because the good ones are too heavy to ship out of the great country of Texas.

On a serious note, New Braunfels stuff is good for the money.
