Update #3. I've been procrastinating posting, hence the photo dump. - I decided to build an internal frame to support the firebox.

Update #2: Spent the week researching and trying not to blow myself up while cutting into the tank. I ended up going to a local welding shop and getting a 20# bottle of CO2.

Learning how to weld/fabricate on...- MeatPopsicle

Need help reading my tank badge!
Long-time lurker, first time poster! Y'all have already been a wild amount of help, and I'm hoping you can "officially" help me with a pickle I'm in. I picked up my 150gal tank last week for my first offset build and have some concerning questions about the tank (now that my excitement has...- MeatPopsicle
