One thing I discovered when you learn how to weld….your neighbors either love you or hate you. Myself? I keep the garage door down when welding or grinding.(tough to do here in central Texas, but it keeps the neighbors from calling false alarms to the Fire Dept., lol.)

I'm Jonesing after your slow speed chop saw. I have the much cheaper abrasive high speed chop saw….sounds like ten freight trains when running. But like you said, a few angle grinders can do most any job…just takes a little longer.

Enjoying this series. Probably will be as great as your Weber Kettle series.

kudos to ya, Brad.

You drag stick. The only time to drag mig is if your filling. Your welds will much flatter and cleaner.

I would love to buy this off of you when completed. Met you at Windy City Smokeout last year, which confirmed I want a Chud Pit. You're the man

As much as I would love to buy one of your pits, the shipping to Canada would SUCK!! LOL
That being said, I do have a couple questions for you??

1) How would you gauge the gap for the air gap or whatever insulation system one uses? Whether it's a square Or round Firebox.

2) What measurements, formula or percentages would one use to figure out the V shape for the square Firebox?

3) How would one gauge the holes for the exchange and or door systems??
Within this question, what measurements would one use to figure out the door placement??

4) What gauge of expanded metal do you use for the grates and the bottom of the cart?

Thanks brother for all the awesome content you put out!!
