I have been itching to build a smoker for a few years now and finally got a hold of a 30 gallon air compressor tank, which will be the cooking chamber. I also have a 30# propane cylinder that I was thinking of using for the firebox.
The 30# propane cylinder has a capacity somewhere in the area of 7 gallons. I know that the recommendations call for a firebox that is 30% the size of the cooking chamber which would mean that I need a 9 gallon chamber.
I would like to hear peoples opinions on whether or not I should use the propane cylinder for the firebox or not.
If I should use it,
How should I have it set up, like the location, vertical or horizontal, or any other good tips or tricks?
And if I shouldn't,
What would be my next best option?
Thanks,
Daniel J.
