Go look at southern smoke and see exactly what not to do!!! 1) Wrong bolts were used (they are wedge bolts), probably 2.5-3" and 3/8" diameter, bad... 2) Nut and bolt are flush, no room for someone to catch it if it becomes loose, 3) lock tight not placed at end of bolt to prevent nut from coming off
