chippewa I’m quite sure the brass washer is the original thrust washer for the vintage they didn’t use nylon back then. The brass will get polished up while doing it’s job. I’m sure a nylon one will work fine if it’s the same thickness.
Jonathon please let its knowhow this turns out. I’ve been thinking to make some also. Had anyone made sweet lebanon? I live in Fla now but used to sellJohn F Martin sweet bologna when we lived north. Good stuff!
smokin greg I also built a smoker from a commercial refrigerator. I used a large electric stove burner in the bottom. It heats it with ease and it would be easy to add other if necessary.
