Bandera Firebox Lid Mod

Cool. I'll have to remember to do that when I get my Bandera. It will definitely help in the winter with temps.

New Bandera Lid

Had some spare time this past week-end and made a new lid for the Bandera to further reduce the size of the firebox and hopefully use less wood. Used 1" sq tube .062 wall & 1/4" plate. Frame tacked up.

1/4" plate tacked to squared frame.

Typical MIG weld using 75/25 on the gas mix. Keeps things much cleaner and better penetration.

Inside stiched and I reused the hinges I got from KCK. A piece of ceramic fiber board will go in this week.

Ready for action. Salvaged the handle from the old lid. That's one big ass warming plate

Nice! I'm curious to see what the test run results are.

Looks like a great job, keep us posted...
