Installing the exhaust tomorrow. I don't have a torch but I do Have a glass top stove. If you did the gasket ring annealing on your stove ok let me know. I don't want the copper gasket to damage the glass top. Thanks.

I thought, in Texas, they still burned cow dung to cook on. Am I wrong? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Welder friend is hardcore into BBQ, welds up his own pits from 55 gallon drums. He uses Gas for some stuff like Pork loin, and his pit obviously for brisket and sausage, and for smoking. On topic, I have a dumb question. This is the second time I saw mention of anealing these copper gaskets for the heads/headers. What does the anealing do any why is it done? |

What does the anealing do any why is it done? The soft copper deforms to seal. In my experience they are fairly soft out of the package. But annealing makes sure. As long as you don't let them cool too slowly. |
