Made a fire management basket for the new to me offset smoker.
I saw that Lone Star Grillz made one that was favorably reviewed but they were either too big or too small for my firebox.
So, I picked up some donated steel .134" #10 plate and bent and drilled and got set up to do some welding.
Well, to do the welding I would need to actually hook up the old stick welder. Had all the material, just never got it done.
Oh ya, probably need one of those fancy auto darkening welding helmets. It was on sale, so I am actually saving money, right? Bought some fresh welding rod, wasn't sure how the vintage stuff in my garage would be.
Anyway, some photos...

Had my son burning up some rod on some scrap too...
