May as well start one of these.

Working on the spillway for my garage recirculation system.

We will next test how it feeds the Keene sluice, after I figure out how to hold the expanded metal over the carpet tightly in place.

LoL!

I figured out how to hold the expanded metal and the carpeting down (Old CD's WTF?!). It's comical but economical. I'll set it up later and we will see how well I did with the spillway... Pics to come.

I've got everything ready, I've been given a short lease by the boss for a small square footage by the hot water heater in the basement for indoor re-circulators. However, I think it will be warm enough tonight to do it in the smoker friendly garage instead. I'll post it step by step from setup to running tonight.

you will probably have to do a bit of tweaking to get it to run right but with a recirc there's no waste...except maybe your time of course lol!

Have you thought about a very thin bolt coming up through the bottom with a wing nut to hold down the expanded metal?
