    2nd smoker, 1st trailer build.

    The 1st cut into the tank. I drilled a starter hole for the plasma cutter then drug it along the line.  It's not as smooth as I had hoped for but it'll get the job done. I was trying to engineer a slick way for the door to open up with internal hinges but I gave up and cut these guys out...

    2nd smoker, 1st trailer build.

    I finally got around to hacking off the pump.  It's a good thing my father in law has a tractor because that behemoth weighed a ton and I couldn't have gotten it off with out it.  The mounting plate for the motor/compressor is 1/4", I think I'll save it for something... maybe I'll waterjet out a...

    2nd smoker, 1st trailer build.

    Yeah, I've been to several different websites for tank calculations and they all seem to be different. I'll start cutting off all the unnecessary junk this weekend. I just need to bring home the plasma cutter from work.  Which reminds me, I need to figure out my hinges.

    Yeah, I think I was a bit off with my math.  I'm thinking its more like a 210-220 gallon tank.

    high temp paint.....

    I used Rustoleum high heat paint (quart) and I applied it with an HVLP after meticulously cleaning and scrubbing every nook and cranny.  After about 3 years the cooking chamber Still looks beautiful. The firebox however, I have had to sand and repaint once and it need to be done again.  It could...

    2nd smoker, 1st trailer build.

    It looks as if Butane Tank has been out of business for a long time. I can't even find their history or anything.  Any guesses for the capacity? I calculate the shell to be 238 gal and I'm guessing the domes (which are 8.5" from the center of the weld see below) bring it up to 272ish? I used the...

    Thanks Rico, I was planning on having the tag on the center bottom of the door. It's quite cool being from '57 and all. I'd love to clean up the tag but I'm worried because the stamping isn't that deep.
