k.a.m., ain't no such thing as scrap brother. Very Happy

I tell my girl all the time when she gets on me about all my junk, it isn't junk, it is material waiting for a purpose. Wink

If I threw anything out, I'd be lookin for it a week later. Shocked

k.a.m. everything is coming together very nice. Finally getting a break from the heat Very Happy

, can't ask for any better as for as the low's go but the highs could be about 10 or 15 degrees lower, that would make it perfect IMO.

Kevin.....I really like the Idea of having Tuning Plates AND a Reverse Flow !!

Thank You roscoe1960, Very Happy

I figure we are not far from the cooler temps. Smile

Thank you Ernie, Very Happy

I hope it works as planned. Smile

This evening I got the warming chamber up and on the firebox. First I cut out the hole on the cooking chamber then set the box to align it up. Once this was done I marked the warming chamber hole and cut it out.

Got her snugged up for marking.

Ready to mark the second cut and move for cutting.

The warming camber back in place and tacked down.

The hole size is 6" wide x 5" tall.

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is sooo not applicable in this arena. "k.a.m. culture" is the happening here. Cool

First it was sealing the doors for a tight cooker. Now we're sealing tuning plates. Rolling Eyes

You're raising the bar just to achieve half-assed bro. So much for BS'n the way thru bling. Great idea on the plates Kevin. I like it too much. Very Happy
