    Cutting door from propane tank

    I was thinking about cutting the top section of the door, then welding on hinges, and finish by cutting sides and bottom. Is this a good idea, or is it recommended to cut out the complete door first then install hinges? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Steve

    Soda blasting verse grinding

    I was going to look at having my 250 gal tank soda blasted but unsure of cost? Anyone know about what the cost would be and if it's worth it over just performing a good grind?

    Fire box question

    I am building the FB for 250 gallon tank smoker and have ran the numbers through the calculator several different ways using different configurations for the firebox size. My question is if there are any advantages for making the firebox a perfect cube, wider, or higher than width? Cheers, Steve.

    Making reverse flow smoker in Atlanta, Georgia

    I'm looking for a tank for a smoker. I have mixed feelings about using air or propane tank. Looking for one I can use for large groups and eventually compitions. What size is recommended for competition? Also want to use for company and customer gatherings.
