"Mr. Fire Face" the Outdoor Fireplace Made from old Propane Tank

Step 2Cut Chimney and Door Holes

Cut Chimney and Door Holes
We used an oxy-acetylene torch to cut the chimney hole. A sawzall or even a drill and chisel would work fine. Our chimney hole is just smaller than the inside of the valve guard flange. We thought it would be too small but it works fine.

We cut teeth in Mr. Fireface's mouth door and bent the teeth out afterward.
Eye and ear holes completed the face.

Star hung the cutoff top with valve and siphon tube on the top of the tank. Now we can't figure out how to unhook it. We left it there as a grandad puzzle for someone else to solve.
