My firebox door hinge gave out right before a big cook in Austin

It was last Saturday, about two hours into a 12-hour brisket smoke on my old offset. The whole hinge just sheared off at the weld, dropping the door and sending sparks everywhere. I had to rig it with some heavy gauge wire and a pair of vice grips to finish the cook, but it was a real mess. Anyone know a good welder in the Austin area who works on smokers?

Tried JB Weld as a quick fix once, held up surprisingly well.

My uncle fixed his lawnmower deck with that stuff and it lasted three seasons!
