@daveomak Do you think a 60 gallon propane tank warrants the additional 20-30% when calculating everything? I picked up a 4' piece of 4" OD steel pipe from a job site the other day. Sure would be nice to use this as the exhaust stack.
Thanks for feedback! I have been kicking around fabricating an octagon with plates, but I have no experience welding. I think I would give up and walk away from the project if I went that route lol. Time to scrounge up some 1/4" plates for the firebox and legs for the stand!
@daveomak I have bought in on the concept. I was referencing the 100# builds that @civilsmoker had shared with that comment. I apologize if any offense was taken, I was poking the 100# long concept. The 1x2 (diameter x length) ratio for the CC seems to be the constant that runs through the...
Gentleman down the road had a 60g. Bottom is a little pitted, not bad considering she was built in the 50's. 22" outside diameter and about 42" long. Gave me the whole "I have other people interested.. " 50$ later she is in my garage upside down with the valve off. Not sure if it was a great...
I hear you on the honey do list lol. Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction and reminding me to simmer down / slow my roll. I am itching to have the grinder throw sparks and stack some dimes lol.
The Copper Pot is a sweet a$$ build, looks nice! That reverse sear grate...
Thanks for the suggestions @civilsmoker. I have seen those build threads. Not much feedback after the builds were complete, it would be nice to see if they performed well or ended up as yard art.
@daveomak The inside diameter of the tank is roughly 14.5" and the length is roughly 40". I followed the guidelines in the initial post and excel sheet on the next to last page. I added 10% to the volume to come up with the remaining values. I am not opposed to cutting the tank down, it is just...
Hello everyone! I have acquired an old 100# propane tank and am converting it over to a reverse flow smoker. Holla! I have ran the numbers and would like your input on my calcs.
Volume is coming in @ 6616 cubic inches. Based on numerous comments about longer cooking vessels, I bumped this up...
Thanks for all of the welcomes folks! I'm sure I will have questions for @daveomak. The builds on here and his info are priceless. I need to run the calcs before I waste anyone's time with questions. An unused 100# propane tank "landed" in my yard for 50$, seems like a start of a build lol.
Hello everyone! Occasional lurker, new member. I have had a Large BGE for about 7 years now, have enjoyed the experience it has provided. Looking at building a stick burner.
