Got the cooking chamber!

Here it is not sure what the Capacity is but its a sweet piece from some old factory. .0625 SS body with 3/8 mild steel ends! I guess the tailgate size Reverse Flow is on hold till summer

That will be way cool. Keep us posted on this build.

For finding good salvage and recycling

Plan on jacketing that body..I'd say. Altho it'll last many moons, it's waaay thin. Heat loss will be a factor.

That nameplate is for a pressure vessel and is rated for 50 psi/300 degrees.

You sure that thing isn't already jacketed with the thin stainless and all iron on the inside?

Clean it out good. Boiler chemicals would leave some funky residue.

"Richtee" I didn't even think about the heat loss due to the thin housing

Is insulating it my only option?

"Hippy" Im not sure yet ill know as soon as the plasma touches down!

Just get a big ol fire goin to clean it out after i cut the door perhaps?

[mwironwork]

Ill deff. keep yall posted with the build! Im looking forward to sharing pics and gettin good feedback and pointers.

One way or another, Or, I SUPPOSE you could just compensate with one big azzed firebox... Hmm... I guess I'm not sure if that's what ya wanna do tho.
