    That's a good thought and idea with the wall between the FB and CC.  I hadn't even thought that far ahead.  Thanks My brother has been looking for trailers (building this together) and he has found some boat trailers he thought would work.  Not sure, because of the length of our tank, what we...

    Yeah I definitely knew I wanted two levels of cooking shelves.  I'm hoping, once this is built, that I might be able to do some cooking for big groups and the extra shelves play into that desire.  Trying to have a very versatile cooker.

    Smokin-aces, I do have a second air inlet to the FB up high, in line with the gap to the CC.  Would that be of benefit?  I'm not sure I have the gap opening the right size, going from the FB to the CC.  I'm also think about putting "shelves"  in the domes at either end.  This would possibly be...

    Dave, I think you might be confusing the circles underneath as FB's.  The two circles under the main drawing are side views of the FB and the plate separating the FB and the CC.  The FB is part of the main tank on the left side.  I apologize for the drawing being a little cluttered with...

I have a propane tank (36" diameter and 12'4" long) that I am converting.  I'm looking to do an internal FB.  I came across this group because I found Smokin-aces design in a search and it is just about...

    Thanks for the welcome.  This is going to be my first build.  I have dreamed about it for the last few years, but just came into possesion of a big propane tank to work with.  I'm in the beginning stages and trying to do as much research and planning before we start.  I actually found this group...

    I reside in Utah and have been Q'n for about 2-3 years now.  I currently use a pellet smoker, but have acquired a 750 gal propane tank that I am looking to convert to a smoker.  That's how I found this forum.  While researching my design dreams, I found a post by smokin-aces that is very close...

    First Big Smoker Build. Advice welcomed!

    I've been researching how to convert my 750 gal propane tank into a smoker, looking at how I want it to cook and how to make it all work right.  I was starting to design simliar to how you have done yours.  In addition to using the FB for direct grilling, I also wanted to set it up for dutch...
