    O geez. Sorry. Yes, air chisel and a 32” hammer drill bit. Now the tee cap sits on the “floor”. I’ll never undo it

    Congrats!

    (crack some windows ajar the first few times you burn it hot, it can get smelly from the paint curing)

    Rather smelly. No visible smoke came off. We’ve been having a gentle yet steady fire for about an hour.

    Yep, I have unlimited source of 1x4 boards from factory pallets at work. Cut them to length, and split down as needed

    Love to see some pix with those secondaries kicked in! Their secondary air and baffle system seems to be pretty robust.
