    Im having a great time.  Just wasnt well planned.  Guess I skipped the planning part, and jumped straight into the cutting and welding.

    I have already took that into consideration.  That would be a must.  Just wasnt sure if making the tank smaller would provide any benefit.

    I am really considering scrapping this project and starting a new one.  The tank is just too fat (48")  when i cut the door, its too tall to open all the way...and im not even on a trailer yet.  I am not sure if i should cut a foot off the bottom, and weld a flat plate, or just find a thinner...

    Thanks Fourthwind for your input.  Earlier you sent me exhaust sizes per my tank size.  you meantioned either a 10" or a 8" exhaust.  Could I put two 4" on the same end to make an equivalent of a 8" pipe?  The reason im asking, is how i cut my door a 8" would prevent me from having a extra shelf...

    New question on the smoker build.  I am considering putting a vertical smoker box on the end of the smoker as well.  How will this effect the rf plate etc.  I also may add one on top of the firebox, but not necessarily allowing heat and smoke to enter this side.  It will be more or less a...

    I think I'm having information overload.  Where do you get the calculations from?  Is it part of this E-course, or do you need to be an engineer?  While I love suggestions, I would also want to know why things are certain sizes.  Just for my own knowledge.  I have read so much, I am afraid to...

    Thanks Fourthwind.  I believe the size is 48.5" x 73".   I will verify when I get home.  Thanks for your help.

    OK...i have the tank at home now....all the pipes removed and good news.  No fuel smell what so ever.  Did some surface grinding and the tank is in great shape.  Took a couple pictures that I will post soon.  Time to get started.

    Thanks.  I will post pictures all the way through.  Advice would be nice however.  I have not heard meantion of anyone incorporating a water pan into their smoker. Is this not a good idea?  What bout RF combined with tuning plates.  Best of both worlds?

    This is my very fist post, and my very first build.  I am looking for as much advice as I can get, from the people that have learned.  I just purchased a 500 gallon diesel tank that has sat empty for the last 7 years.  I do not know the dimentions yet even.  I will hopefully pick it up tonight...
