    Tips for building smoker out of 275 oil tank

    The photo Daveomak posted of one of my smokers is not a oil tank, it is a 120 gallon propane tank I cut in half lengthwise and added a 1ft section to the middle

    Ribwizzard checking in.

    Saying hello to old friends and checking out new smoker builds. I dont see much going on in the build forums, either it's just that slow time of the year?.....or this economy has everyone working too much? Hmmm.. I haven't built anything in a while either, shut down the restuarant almost 4...

    Fire box size

    On smaller smokers it's a good ideal to oversize the firebox. Wont hurt a darn thing other than add weight to the smoker. But it will allow you to build your fire much easier.

    Seriously folks

    I leave for a little while and you all started doing it backwards again. While the propane tank still has its legs, set it on level ground and cut your opening for the firebox. Weld on the firebox. Remove the fittings and install your plugs, NOW turn it over and it will sit level because your...

    Joining two tanks

    Cut a hole in one or the other and put them together. Work the hole until it fits nice. You can then either weld it first and reach in and cut the 2nd tank from inside with a torch ( recommended) or trace it and hope to match up the holes.

    Reverse Flow worth the extra money (vs UDS)?

    Here's the deal. If your just cooking one slab or chicken or whatever for dinner, you can pretty much cook it on a trash can if you know what your doing. The more expensive or elaborate cookers let you cook more and cook all day or all weekend, with less effort and better consistency.

    SMOKE STACK BASICS

    Thanks, Ive always used an unwritten formula something like; CC shape should be like width should be about .35 length Fire box width= CC width Firebox height= CC width Firebox depth= 4/5 CC width Firebox to CC mounting height 1/3 CC. And of course stack as mentioned above. Works good for me...

    Down Draft design issues

    Going extra big on the firebox with out double plating or insulating it will give you more heat loss due to extra surface area. Door flange on door instead of cc helps hide inperfections in your cutting of the door, easier to weld, more forgiving as crud builds up.

    Double Barrel Smoker Re-Design Concept

    If it were me; Id join the two drums with a (single) pipe going straight up at the far left, put a single exhaust on the far right. Build fire to the far right. Like a poor mans reverse flow. Then skirt the two drums together with some sheet metal .

    150 Gallon RF Trailer Build

    Your going to need some handles anyway. Trace the radius of the cc next to the door that you need to match up to. Fab two plates to match the radius and weld them onto the door to hold the door "rolled correctly" Like this
