Thanks Guys!
Here is the finished picture except for some more stain and the center table and the Pizza oven.
I bought some steel bars with predrilled holes just in case for the Drum Chicken.
They are a nice fit across the top of the inner brick.
I'll have to come up with some fabrication for a top.
I'm also pondering making the Oven work off of propane and or Wood Coals.
How hard is it to make a safe rig that I could drill pipe for this and then buy some propane fittings?

Can you weld? Use square tube. Cap the ends, drill and tap the holes for the burner fittings(I have used grease zerts with the ball knocked out for flame outlets) and a low pressure regulator, or just gut an old propane oven. You can get them for next to nothing.

I'd go with Lee's recommendation on finding an old gas grill. Craigslist should get you lots of hits for some.

[Mooseherder]

I have never welded but my brothers are real good at it.
I've asked them to show me how to weld.
The problem is they're 2 thousand miles away. 
There is a guy with a sign in his front yard around here that says welding so maybe I'll check with him.
I have my Mother's old Gas stove in storage for use in my Northern Cook Shack but wil be keeping that one intact.  It is at least 50 years old because my parents bought that house when I was tree.

What kind of tree were you?

[Mooseherder]

A stump.

The old gas grill would likely be cheaper and easier.

[Mooseherder]

I might go with new replacement parts from one of the depots.
What would I need in between the tank and the burner besides a regulator?

[Raider Bill]

The problem with them is normally the burners are rusted out. I used new SS replacement parts.

[Mooseherder]

Oh, and bricks flying in every direction from a blowout is my main concern.

[LeeB]

I would use 1/2" black pipe. Are there any vent holes down at the bottom to keep any gas from accumulating? I shouldn't think it would be any more concern than lighting an oven. I use a high pressure ball valve on my fryer to keep the gas off till I'm ready to light it in addition to the valve on the bottle. I also use it to regulate the flame, much the same as a burner control. The whole thing is home made and probably would get me thrown in jail. It will boil 5 gal of water in just a few minutes. Sounds like a jet engine. Used a grease zert for the tip and have a piece of flat iron right above it for a target to spread out the flame. Been using it for 15 years or more.

Do you have any pics? Or would you prefer to keep them from the authorities?

[LeeB]

I'll take some pics when I get back home. I'm half way around the world from it right now.
