In true BBQ fashion always check your tongs are working by clacking them twice before use and always check that your MIG welder nozzle is working by banging it twice on the weld table... Thank you for that invaluable knowledge.. :)
Nice fire pit. How are you liking the HTP mig welder? I like your "frank" reviews, and HTP seems to be very non-existent in the welding community. Thanks for your content.
Very attractive design is bespoke, but coatings for a steel fire pit will not last when the wood coals heat temps. near air vents will go much higher than 1800F and a suggestion maybe add an ash tray at bottom to catch ash sure to exit at same vent holes. Bullet proof with your plasma table and welding skills use stainless to create a lifetime no maintence firepit. Or maybe the ultimate high end forever pit use titanium $$$ but it will outlast the Giza Pyramids and make a huge statement while weighing 45% less than steel! Ray
Cerakote has 2 options though, cold and high temp cure. The high temp cure is what they use on firearms and it is amazingly durable. The stuff used on the polymer and lowers mmmmm, not so much.
We elected for the highest temp rated coating! I can't remember the specifics but I believe it was their "C" series which we we're told (haven't yet verified) that should handle fire up to 1,800 F. This is somewhat of a trial run, so we will report back if it has any unforeseen issues
Like allensnook suggested, ship flat might reduce ship cost, (I understand the weight is significant) create a bolt together kit! Or with a locking wedge that purchaser can hammer in. Blacksmith style!
