    Are those exchange tube holes at the top? If so is it a monster heater? And sapphire blue sounds gorgeous!

    Nice job krooser.....I think the wife would like it even more if you used one of those cranks in the background as a door handle.

    Not a monster heater… just an old Srt. Croix pepin rated at 40,000 btu's. The color is nice. The bride wanted navy blue but this is as close as I could get. It's kind of a subtle change from black. Should go with the one blue "accent" wall we have in the living room.

    As far as the cranks go there's two forged steel small block Olds, three forged Chevy's (2-327 and one 350), two small block Mopar's (also forged steel). The Olds is from a past dirt track project that I sold (the GM guys cried when I built a Malibu with an Olds engine). The Chevy cranks I picked up for extras in case my kid's modified exploded. The Mopar cranks are for the dirt super stock project in the shop behind the St. Croix.

    If I used anything for a door handle I'd want it chromed and that's too pricey for my budget.

    Your stove ain't cool unless your crank door handle is chromed.....true dat!
