My pit's firebox door hinge gave out right before a big cook last Friday

It happened when I was getting a load of post oak up to temp for a brisket. Has anyone else had to do a quick weld repair on site, or do you just keep a spare hinge kit handy?

Had that happen once. A quick MIG weld with some scrap steel bar as a brace got me through the weekend. Keep a small angle grinder handy to clean up the area first, it makes a huge difference.

My old Ford's seat bracket got the same scrap steel treatment, held for years.

Man, used to think you needed a whole new part for that. But seeing @xena_hernandez98's fix totally changed my mind. A quick weld with some scrap metal is the real move for a last-minute save.
