Ok guys here goes.
A dedicated DOWN flow smoker. I burned the tanks last fall and have been itching to get started all winter, the weather has started to break and my business (seasonal) is slowly getting going so if I can't get it done in the next few weeks it won't get done any time soon.
Last fall I burned the tanks. On previous builds I just rolled them in a fire to burn off the paint. (with marginal results) This time I decided to burn them from the inside-out and it worked great except for one major problem. For some reason halfway through the burn they started smoking like a three alarm fire . I was able to cure that with a weed burner on the second tank but the cops and fire department showed up on the first
burn and told me not to do it again
.
Cut big holes in both ends of the tanks and lit them up
paint burning off nicely
