That's really to hard the answer as it depends on your ability and what tools you have available. Hours wise I guess around 80 including the paint which was 12 hours on its own.

After 15 hours or so I would think the sides would get too hot for normal paint no matter how insulated it is or am I wrong? How did you apply, proper spray gun/compressor?

Seems to have held up so far. You can still touch all the outside bar the firebox door. Grit blasted it in our drive in bay at work then used a gravity spray gun. Only a cheapy of eBay but seemed to work ok. Edited August 27, 2019 by Diggerg Extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Do not generally have a problem with my Gravity Feed getting hot on the outside, except when I used some Coco Shell Charcoal, and it blocked the feed into the oven and all the hate dissipated through the sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
