I'm finally getting around to posting my OWB build from last fall. After finding a couple of scrap tanks from work i thought i would see how it turned out. I started the build on October 5th and lit my first fire November 11th. (Lets just say my girlfriend wasn't real pleased with me...) I tried to do the complete build with salvaged materials to keep cost to a minimum. The boiler is a tank in tank design with about 125 gallon water capacity. the fire box is 32" diameter and about 46" deep. All the steel in the build came from scrap piles. Knowing how we like pics on here i tried to take quite a few. I'm still learning to post pics on here, hope this works. Please post any questions or comments. Thanks
