Yeah, that's a Weber Smokey Mountain
The door can open if you want to peek or baste....but it's rarely used.
I thought you bought a welder a while back?
Thanks....I was waiting for someone to chime in on my joints. This was actually my second attempt on this joint, I had to take it apart and start over from scratch So you think I should heat the outside and put the solder on the inside?
I know it's not pretty, but I actually tapped the thing with a hammer and it's pretty solid. This joint is not going to have mechanical stress on it. I COULD break it back down and start again, but I want to be sure before I do so.
I guess the risk is that the joint would fail catastrophically with 15 gallons of hot wort in the kettle. Crap. Maybe I should take it back down.
Any suggestions? What was the turning point for you in terms of putting out a nice joint? Part of my trouble was the size of the coupler.....I really think the stay-clean made a big difference, but I didn't have a good way to apply it (q-tips kept burning).....
