Got the Blaze King installed (pics)

[bfunk13]

First of all, a big thanks to all you guys here who helped me out on this one.
I was a bit intimidated with this install, but it really wasn't that bad.
Not worth $1600 anyways. I wouldn't have tried it without this site and you guys.
The only thing i need to do is finish the top cap, my clay liner is 13"x18" and the kit
came with a 13"x13" top cap. A friend of mine has a sheet metal break, and today
we made a cap out of stainless. I will finish tomorrow. Oh yeah, still need some sort of hearth pad.
I think it looks great!
Can't wait to fire this baby up.
The pictures didn't turn out very good, but you get the idea.

Thanks again!
Brad

Looks like one serious heater Brad. Good job, it finished out nicely. You'll be cooking with wood pretty soon now.

Looking great. It looks like a boatload of heat just waiting to happen.

Do you guys really measure heat in "boatloads" in Va?

I lived there for 12 years, and I'm BB's attorney, so I'll answer. Yes, they do, but it's not usually spelled that way. Rick

Thats cool. It reminds of what my Dad always said, "Its more than you can shake a stick at."

BTW Great looking insert BFunk!

Welcome to the reliable tractor club bfunk. If you have hardwood to burn, let me know how it does as Iam curious as :snake:
Your glass looked hazy in the pics. Did you do a pre-fire out side? Again congrats.

North of 60,

I have 6 cords of well seasoned pine is all, i wish i had some hardwood.
As far as the glass, just finger prints from installing, suppose i should have
cleaned it first. I am sure i will be asking you some questions here in the near future.

Thanks
Brad
