Thank you everyone. Here are some updated pics.
Cc cut. I am pretty happy with the fit but will probably end up using a gasket of some sort.
Making sure I have a 31 sq inch hole per my calculations (I've used more graph paper in the last two weeks than my entire life! It helps me visualize...
I've got a weed burner. Maybe I'll give it a good pass with that. I just went out to smell it again with a fresh nose. It has a slight smell. Not bad. Can't tell if it is oil or metal smell but I'd guess oil. Again though, not bad.
Is it even worth risking warping it? I will weld in supports and the overall smoker is done so it has other supports.
Here is the inside. It WAS an oil-LESS compressor.
Here is where I stand now. Next step is to burn the inside then make the grates, chimney etc.
the inside of my tank was not very rusty (yay!). I have knocked what rust there is down with a sanding wheel. I plan to burn the barrel this weekend. Any tips? How long do I burn for? How hot? I am very worried about warp age in the door. This is a 33 gallon craftsman compressor. Thanks!
Thanks. One more question for clarification. Because it exits the side about 6" from the top of the cc, does the pipe length start at the top of the cc which would actually make the exhaust tube 36" in lenght Or do I just do 30" from where the pipe starts its vertical ascent? Instead of a box...
The pipe is plenty long. I got 6 feet of it. I guess my question is, do I go 24" like the calculations says or make it longer at 30"? Is going 6" longer than the calculator class for going to overdue it? Honestly I'd prefer shorter but if going 30" has any benefits, I'll go that route.

Back from vacation, back to the smoker build. I got the new ground and it has made a difference. I am moving onto the CC so I will be switching to using regular mig welding with gas (no more messy flux core).
Today I got some scrap for my chimney, it was all they had, will it be ok? It is...
