@Ozzie_Isaac What I think we might do is bend some steel to fit the radius of the dome and tap it for new screws. The band on the egg isn't such a bad design after all.....Ozzie_Isaac said:
I wonder if if you could fill holes with steel jbweld then drill and tap? Or drill out more and use threaded inserts or helicoils? How thick is region that strippe?WeberWho said:Be thankful for your warranty on your Big Green Egg. Not so much fun with the Big Steel Keg and no warranty. I have two out of three screws stripped on the hinge mechanism on the dome causing tons of play from front to back. No easy way to fix the stripped screws. I had to drill out rivets on the dome just to seperate the two lids. I picked up a new Rutland gasket to replace the old hardened one. I still need to figure out how to add new screws. What a chore for a couple stripped screws. I'll take a cracked ceramic piece any day!

I'm still not sure I know quite what you are trying to rehab? I have some mad respect for your skills, @WeberWho but that doesn't look anything like a smoker.Ozzie_Isaac said:

The first pic is The Big steel Keg dome upside down. The second pic is the is liner of the dome sitting upright. The insulation is what sits between the two pieces when rivited together.

Many of you have already suspected that Nichole is the one doing all the cooking. Brent meanwhile confirms his #1 status.

Abe needs to put some cloths on.Botch said:Playing with my new toy, a Nikon-mount Zhong Yi "Mitagon" 20mm f2 micro lens, shoots between 4 and 4.5x life-size.
Needs a LOT of light, but allows me to photograph Abe's statue in the Lincoln Memorial, on the back of a penny:

It's built exceptionally well (made and designed in China), not much glass in it at all, a THREE-blade aperture. Definitely a studio-only lens, very tricky to set up.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

Thanks Michael, Suzanne has worked hard on her gardens this year. It will never be as nice as @theyolksonyou lawn with his professional landscaping crew, but getting it done with a push mower, and a few glasses of wine, I'll take it.DoubleEgger said:Beautiful Ron

Waiting on some butts. Enjoying the break in the heat and humidity. Funny how 89 can feel like a/c in the Carolina summer.
