Thank you sir

Are you going to completely weld the strap on the lids or just leave them tacked? Doubt it makes much difference, just curious how it would look painted with all the tacks instead of a constant bead.

Great job by the way. That pit is massive. Bet it will hold good constant heat for awhile once you get it up to temp.

I plan on leaving the doors tacked for looks, haven't made any plans for paint yet

[Boomhauer]

I wouldn't worry about painting it. Aaron Franklin's pits aren't painted and it looks prettay swet as it is.

And the paint will eventually fade and probably peal.

The skills are strong with this one...

Looking good.... I vote No paint... You can always go back and paint it later if you want.

[DoveBlaster]

Thanks guys, no paint for now, like Ivanite said above, I can always paint it later

[Ivanite]

Have you got some smoke in this thing yet?

Looks great man! I am about to start one myself. Did you go through many sawzall blades cutting out the doors?

[DoveBlaster]

Not really, buy the 10 pack at Home Depot and go to town
