Default Micro Gravity Feed with Insulated Cabinet
Here is what I am planning to build.


A couple of pictures of the ash box. 10" x 8" x 7" deep




Sheet metal shop called friday and I can pick up the chute parts on Monday. I picked up 70 feet of 1" tubing. I have cut up 24 feet of it. Some how it looked bigger on paper. I have finally gotten started.

Hopefully, just big enough that he'll want to keep it stored in my garage

Ron it will be 24" sq and 42" tall. Cooking grates will 13.5 by 18.5 inches. hence the name Micro. I wanted something to cook for just Barb and me. A Brisket or two or a couple Butts or a couple racks of ribs. I have been surprised by the price of steel...

According to my calculation it will wiegh 250 lbs. Unless I use heavier materials.

I have some 12 guage stainless sheet for the doors. I had planned on 16 guage and that is how they get so heavy...LOL.
