Looks like a fun project.

So far yes fun. My original propane one was stolen, which was a good thing. I didn't care for the constant monitoring of the flame on the propane unit, and inconsistency. Yes it cost more, but in the end will be worth it. Lots or research, and watching videos for ideas on what I wanted to build.

Tagged, could you post more spec's on the parts list, I have a knee replacement surgery coming up and would like to build something like that during the down time.

I'll start putting a list together of parts. I will break it down in components, and functions.

I'm compiling a list of parts for anyone who wants to build one. A lot cheaper then the ones on the market, and yes fun to do is right.
