Additional progress!
Aug. 3rd, 2008 05:13 pmFirebox lined with fire bricks, and the grates that I couldn't get to quite work for cooking work just fine as log grates to allow for ash to fall down onto the bricks to get out of the burn.
I also have one of the top dampers (the far left one) and the door just about finished, but I've run out of bolts...and not feeling like a 4th trip to the hardware store in 2 days. I'll go back tomorrow, probably. :D
I also found that the bottom legs aren't tightening down quite right - the hole for the 2nd bolt needs re-drilled, so that'll also be a "tomorrow" project. Still and all, we're really, really close, and it feels great.
