    250 Gallon Propane Tank Build

    Got both of these fired up and seasoned today. Ran smoker for about 3 hours. Took 45 minutes to get up to 250 degrees. Held temp great. Firebox end ran 10 to 12 degrees cooler than opposite end. Air flow seemed to be good. Ran both lower dampers about 1/4 open and top damper in door 1/2 open...

    Finally got it painted. Made the stainless shelf under the cc doors. Got tstats put on. Drain valve. Set it on the trailer and ready to weld it on. After tomorrow should have it all welded up. Plan next weekend to build a fire in both and season them.

    Made the stainless exhaust and damper. Made plenum on CC and got the stack welded on. Next is trimming out the doors. Haven’t had any spare time work on it. Hopefully can work on it the next two weekends.

    Have not had much time to work on the grill. Did get the valves and gauges removed from the top of tank, openings cut out for air inlets on both ends and pieces cut out to make inlet damper boxes. Hope to get time this weekend to do some work.

    I had the trailer hooked to a truck today. It is a tad light right now but after the roughly 500 pound char-grill is mounted on the trailer also it should be about right. Also will have wood and coolers in the front box area. The tandem axles help a lot with the welght. This trailer had only one...

    Got the smoker fitted and welded in the trailer today. Touched up the paint. I think this part of this build is ready to cook. Now I’m ready to start on the grill that will go next to the smoker.
