Bbq smoker counter weights build part 1/2

I'm building a counter weight system on the door of this pit to help it open and close.

Thanks.... I built my own grill out of .250" and need to build one of those.... the idea of the counter weight sliding up/down a rod is a nice idea.....Great videos......thanks again, GBYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think a 36" vector torch are good for cutting out grilling hoods and base equipment love your work borther

[@paultavres9830]

Have you experimented with torsion bars
Like a leaf spring but twist it for counter weight
trucks use them for their hoods

[@jimbo3115]

what type MIG machine do you use?

How much are your metal Masonic signs

[@TonyWadkins]

Thanks for your videos! Awfully complicated counterweight compared to the traditional method like the gator pits.

I would have put a second pully onto the counterweeight and run the end of that cable up the top where the first pully is mounted. That would give half the travel distance for the counterrwieght and probably no need to change the weight.

I just bought a hypertherm 85 .The hypertherm takes away the gas bill for the torch and most of your 4 inch cut off wheels .. I spent a grand on that plasma and It should pay for it self in less than 6 months
