    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    I made some progress today. I got some old metal cut off. Got the doors most of the way cut out. I just need to add the hinges and finish cutting them. Here's where I'm a little stuck though. My Brother-In-Law gave me this trailer to use for this smoker. I realize most smokers are built...

    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    After the original concept, I'm now hoping for an end result of something like this one. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/108670/center-firebox-rear-facing-reverse-flow-trailer-build All input is greatly appreciated.

    Center FireBox Rear Facing reverse Flow Trailer Build

    Awesome build. I just started a project and I'm looking to end up with something similar.

    Starting my build 250 gallon propane smoker with rear facing firebox.

    I'm wanting to build a similar smoker. I saw where you mentioned life got crazy. I can understand that. I too have a wife that got her masters. I kind of felt like I was single again for about two years. Hang in there. It gets better. I see it's been a while since you last posted. I hope you're...

    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    I got my tank picked up. I took it by a guy I know who has built a couple of smokers before. He's suggesting I not use this tank because it's only 1/8 inch thick. I know that's pretty thin, but I figured... 1. It's a free tank. 2. I'm only using it once or twice a year for whole hog so even if...

    Hey FatRat.... it sucks when life gets in the way of smoking but it happens to us all. You're smoker will get there. Yes... I've read several posts here as well as several google searches. My tank was used for liquid fertilizer. It turns out that's easier to rid of residue than gas or oil. It's...

    Hi Dan, It's liquid fertilizer. Disposing of It is no concern. It's still viable to use on the field. I just have to get it out of my tank and into the sprayer. I've googled it and it seems it's pretty easy to remove the residue. A burn out should get 100% of it. Apparently it cleans out...

    Bummer. I went to pick up my tank today and the tractor I had wouldn't lift it. That thing is heavier than I thought. The problem... it still has some liquid in it. And... for some reason, this tank doesn't have a drain hole. The only access is on the top. Tomorrow I'll try with a bigger tractor.

    TheMule69... I was over thinking it. The grate on the bottom is way better. Change made. As for how thick.. I'm not sure. This tank was used for liquid fertilizer 30 years ago. I know it's not as thick as a propane tank but feels thicker than a 50 gallon barrel. The guy that gave it to me thinks...

    Fatrat... I'll be watching this build! I'm building a hog roaster too. I'm starting from a tank that was given to me. I think I'm going to have a pro cut the door out for me. Partly for quality but partly because I don't know for sure I wouldn't blow myself up. Ms. Smoke_Chef is highly against...

    Building a whole hog smoker on the cheap. What are your thoughts? (Q-view)

    Hello all... I've been doing a whole hog on a cinder block for about four years now. They turn out great but I'm looking to upgrade. A little bit. I have this tank that was given to me. It's 7 feet long and 3 feet 9 inches wide. I'm looking to keep the build very cheap and primitive...
