Hi everyone, I am new to the forum but have drawn a lot of ideas from posts on here over the years, so I thought I would share the story of my new smoker build. It is a 500 reverse flow made from a propane tank, with a warming cabinet/second cook chamber. The warming cabinet and fire box are fully insulated, I am not done with it yet but getting closer. I have had the tank for several years and had it bled out for a long time, and began by thoroughly cleansing the tank (lots of water and dish soap, again, and again, and again). After cleaning I cut the end caps off and had the tank blasted to get clean iron to work with, even after all the cleaning and blasting you could still get a faint whiff of mercaptan.
The baffle plate is broke from 3/16 plate with a 5 degree pitch for grease flow into a 2” stainless drain pipe. The firebox is 34” wide x 36” long x 30” high with the inside liner made of 3/8” plate, wrapped with 2” of 1200-C insulation and then sheet with 12 gauge on the outside. The warming cabinet has a controllable flue between it and the firebox to allow temperature control inside of it and is made from 10 gauge inside and out with 1” of insulation. We broke the floor of it to feed to a grease tube that feeds into the grease trough of the main cook chamber.
When finished I plan to do a linseed oil finish on it
