    Get yourself a trailer dolly and some wheel chocks from Harbor Freight. It'll make things a little easier to move once you're able to back stuff up to a level surface and you just need to tweak the position. Can't wait to one day put my order in for a Mill Scale. What a beauty!

I picked up an old 250 gallon tank to try my hand @ building one... is there anyway you could give me a few dimensions off the 250? I could use the overall smoke stack length, cook chamber door size. & firebox height & depth.

    Other than obvious size, how would you compare the quality between MS and Phil?

    • @fikscue
      @fikscue  Год назад

      Mill Scale is better in overall quality. But then again, they are built 2 years apart and these builders always improve their crafts. I should do a head-to-head comparison on them soon.
