Welcome to SMF. Find your answers here, search is your buddy. Your tank is similar in size to mine. You can check out my build thread. Take your time, make cardboard templates, cardboard is easily corrected, 1/4" steel not so forgiving. Make it yours and have fun!! RG...

I suggest using some poblano powder. Its dehydrated poblanos. I use jalapeno powder along with fresh jalapeno in my sausage. It provides a boost to the pepper flavor. RG

I make refrigerator garlic dills. Modified Smokin Al's recipe. Great dills in 3-4 days. Family really loves them. Bread and butter pickles, eggs and so on. You may consider making a brine trap to keep it out of your vaccum pump. RG...

I have a Thermoworks Smoke. It works great for my use. One probe for food and one for grate temp. The remote receiver also vibrates when the alarm goes off, great for a wake up if you doze off. I will say it is not waterproof, it got rained on and didn't work properly. I took it apart...

Blue cheese mixed with cream cheese and a little bit of rub. Cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar, cilantro, a bit of rub and some lime juice or zest. RG
