Hello guys, I am new to this forum and was hoping to get a little help on building a reverse horizontal smoker from a propane tank, I took this propane tank out of my Ford pickup, not sure how many gallons it is but i do have some measurments on it. It is 63" long and 63" round in circumference (all the way around). Also if I measure one end of the tank all the way across the center it is roughly 20" across. The calculater available for to figure out specs kind of confuses me. Well to you pro's out ther I'm sure it's a piece of cake so here goes.
1. What distance should I weld the baffle from the bottom of the propane tank?
2. What gap (horizontal gap) in inches should I leave between the end of the baffle and propane tank?
3. Also since the tank is 20" wide, what dimensions should i use for my firebox?
4. I wanted to go with a 5" or 6" exhaust and wanted to install it starting close to my bottom grid, question is how long should I go and what diameter?
KEEP IN MIND IM ALSO IN IT FOR THE LOOKS SO IM TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK AS WELL PROPORSIONED AS POSSIBLE FOR ITS SIZE. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU IN ADVANCE, I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP.
