    20gal build Finially DONE

    The tank tested and confirmed 20gal. I got some work done today with some help from the neighbor. I cut off all the fittings and the stand off the old bottom. I reused the stand by pounding it out to better match the 14 in tank. I was also able to cut the shape out for the firebox. The metal was...

    20gal build Finially DONE

    I will be seeing the guy I was having cut my steel today. I am hoping he did not start cutting the firebox yet. He said they had a sheer go down and was not sure if he could get it cut yesterday. I am thinking of adding 2 inches all the way around. I assume this will not change my FB/CC cooking...

    JW that smoker is real close to what I had in mind. Well you all put to rest any concerns I had on the Firebox being too big. I will be taking the tank to the fire hall tomorrow to make sure it is a 20 gal. tank. It is too cold here, 9 degrees, to turn on the outside water valve. If everything...

    Dave I took some more time and studied your guide and have a better understanding of it. I see you figures always reference the CC to come up with the solution. My question for everyone is I have planned a Firebox of 14x12x12 which gives me 2016 cu in when I only need 1540. I made it a little...

    Thanks for the heads up. I was mainly going off the tag on the side. I will double check the tank to see what I have.

    20gal build Finially DONE

    That is where I am confused. How do I determine the size of the hole in the firebox. Is there a calculator to tell me if a opening  shaped like a moon that is 10 inches wide and curves down 2.5 inches is 6.41 square inches. What I do not get is if I have a 14in circle/tank how far up from the...

    I have got a ton of great info on this sight and have been enjoying smoking on my Webber kettle for a few years now. I do not post much but really try to research.  I have made some great food and have been proud of my last two briskets. The first two were leather.  I could not of figured them...

    120 Gal RF build. First build advise welcome.

    Sounds good David. I went down and scraped some paint off and it does not have the multi color look and I just talked to the neighbor who works with steel and he said he really don't think it is galvanized but we will torch it to be sure. Thanks.

    Thanks. I think k this is going to take me longer than I thought. I sure seem to have trouble making time to work on it. Some good news though, my neighbor is a farmer and he gave me a free beef brisket 10 lb said he will provide meat but I need to smoke and give half back. He loved it and said...

    Thanks Dave. I like the idea for the second rack on top that can be removed if needed. I will draw something up and post it so and get some opinions on it.
