Hiya all. Gonna start my smoker build. I have a small tank 100lb propane to experiment with but was looking for a bigger tank for my "real" smoker. Looking at the reverse flow design. I was gonna buy a Lang but figured it would be more fun to make one myself.
Question I have is, how do I know the thickness of a tank. I am looking for about 50+ gallons looking about 4-5' long to fit in my little yard. I would like 1/4". Is there a formula or rule of thumb to get the thickness of the steel based on size or weight of the tank?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
