Hi, I'm new to smoking and building but I'm gonna jump right in and build a small smoker to begin with.
I'm starting with this 25gallon (100#) vertical propane tank (disregard the small bottle on the side)
I think I want to build it as a vertical smoker. Any thoughts on this? Reason is because I wanted it somewhat compact. Any suggestions why I should NOT do this? Should I lay it on it's side?
The small bottle was in fact a thought about a side firebox but I'm not that good of a fabricator. You can seen the lines I drew on the tank. I was going to make a fire where the lower door is, a diffuser and a couple rack in the top door for meat.
This is a fairly new, clean tank. Do I need to remove that powdercoating on the outside before seasoning, or burning it out or anything?
Thanks for any advice!
