Is that a wok for a firebowl? Very cool! I have seen very similar done with a brake drum.

Yep. I couldn't find a brake drum. The wok is doing great. After a dozen firings it's not melting or showing any signs.Originally Posted by Badawg
That is great!!! Nice out of box thinking. I just don't want to be around when your wife starts looking for the hair dryer.
Great job!!!!

Nice wok er..work, man.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Thanks....
Hey "E". Thanks. How's the spring drill? I tried with a cordless drill and diff woods. I just got smoke.
Thanks Trax.
Good job Rebel. What ya gonna make?
Knives and hawks. I haven't learned how to control the curve. So, they're all skinners.
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

You two are shameless. One kills detestable creatures and the other defends them. How did you two get together?

Hey Crash, before I forget to ask........
Do the floor mats on the 2009 Winnebago Vectra you're testing seem a bit too small? Mine do.
Darn!!!! Why did we agree to make our own modifications if we were keeping them????

See? You must have missed the post that said I don't have to do anything and I still get paid. Did you see that? Use the Search tool. Wait! What's the matter with me? I'm doing something. Dang it! Just answer the question.

A couple of things I would do differently or may change are: The pipes for the blower and ash catcher are too long. They could be shortened to about half the length.
Using the wok made it lighter than using a brake drum. Making it transportable. If I shorten the pipes it would be even better.
The hair dryer on low speed is all that is needed. A foot switch would be nice. On high speed it just blows your coals out of the wok. On low it'll melt your steel. I ruined my file knife by not keeping a close eye on it.
Like most things, it's a learning process.
