Finally starting to come together.
That should make a nice one. Used a 20 inch diameter tank for mine and I reaqlly wish I had been able to find a 24 inch one. Most of fireboxes I've seen on custom builds have all been 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch walls. I did mine with 3/16 plate cause that's all I had access to. Maybe someone else...- hogwart

Ok Pretty much got the basket done this morning. Had a bed frame in the back of the trailer headed for the dumps and figured I'd cut it up and put it to use. It made the exterior framing. The stock lengths of square rod I got were 1/2' x 1/2" so i only used them for the bottom of the the basket...- hogwart

I see some of the builds on here with a damper from the firebox to the smoking chamber and some builds without it. Is the damper needed needed? Or is the firebox air intake and chimney damper all that's needed?- hogwart

Some Walmart facts i found interesting
http://wakeupwalmart.com/facts/ Not saying I'm totally against WM, they are a company and companies are all about profit. I just don't think it would hurt them that much to give their employees a better quality of life, in the form of slightly higher wages or lower cost insurance. And the...- hogwart

Ok ditched the 7gal propane tank. Looked all over for 1/4" plate to build a bigger firebox out of but everyone wants a fortune for it, the best I could come up with is 3/16" so it will have to do. And the best part? I got an 18" X 96" sheet for free. Was just enough to make a 18' x 18" by 16"...- hogwart

Well thank you very much for the info. I found the smoker ratio calculation excel sheet on here, and your right, according to that the 7gal propane tank is way to small for a firebox for that size tank. Looks like I'll have to make up a 18" x 18" x 16" square fire box to achieve the 1/3 ratio...- hogwart
