That is definetly the BBQ for me, it is perfect. Do have some ballpark measurements. I know the fire box is 24 sq. but the total length of 24 inch pipe and the outside dimensions of the warmer would give me a head start.
Thanx in advance

[quote="killswitch505"]The damn thing is 97.9 % ran out of paint on the base I used VHT high temp paint and I cant apply another coat for seven days and I want to make a shelve for the front of the cooker. I tested and seasoned it last night thing ran good but I could not get it any hotter then 350 but im still waiting for my chrome stacks to come in so I get a better draw. When I moved all the tuning plates to close off the horizontal portion the vertical portion got right up to temp

why 7 days??

* Paint must be completely dry before curing
* Heat to 250�F (121�C) for 30 minutes
* Cool for 30 minutes
* Heat to 400�F (204�C) for 30 minutes
* Cool for 30 minutes
* Heat to 650�F (343�C ) for 30 minutes

Caution: Do not exceed the temperature of the least heat tolerant component or the base metal.

I just bought
5 cans flat grey primer
4 cans of flat black
2 cans of flat red and
5 cans of clear satin

Any tips on painting with VHT?
Do you think it will hold up on the firebox? 2000 degrees?
Did you use the "Flameproof brand rated at 2,000 degrees
