Finally got it painted this spring. Time to start thinking about the next project!

Watch those tires! The one I built, the tires get really hot. They are set farther away from the fire box than yours! Just my 2 cents! Looks great!

Actually haven't had any problem with the tires getting hot. The steel on the firebox is 5/16" and I build a small efficiently burning fire in the middle of the box. Maybe your firebox wasn't as thick or your fire was too big.

Thanks Bruce. Total steel cost is hard to estimate because we have a friend in the steel business that gets us material at cost. I think I might have $400 in it at most.

Could be the difference. My firebox is 1/4". Main body is 5/16. Glad that isn't an issue!

thanks! it cooks pretty good, it like larger logs than my other stick burner. Building them is 1/2 the fun, learning to make great food on them is the other 1/2.
