    120 gallon RF trailer build

    Finished framing the door opening and welded everything up this morning. That was a lot of welding.

    120 gallon RF trailer build

    I picked up a 120 gallon tank about a month ago, a 5x10 utility trailer a couple days ago, and today I went and got a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" plate sheared for the FB and RF plate. I'm doing a 24" square FB. Got the plates tacked up today and framed the door opening. I'll be doing a wood stove...

    Door handle welding caused warp

    That will work too lol. Depending on length of door and thickness of metal you may be able to jump on it even.

    Door handle welding caused warp

    I would find something sturdy with a gap that you could put center of bend over gap and use a bottle jack to push it. Some creativity with a chain and bottle jack should work also. Corners need to be pulled down and center pushed up. Just be carefull you don't end up changing it somewhere...

    I'm starting a new smoker soon just picked up the tank yesterday. It's 5 feet long 24 inches in diameter. Hopefully I've got all my numbers correct. CC is 27143 FB/CC opening should be 108.5 Same for area at end of plate and underneath it FB should be 8957 although I planned to do a 22"...

    Reverse Flow 300L Air Tank Build in Greece...$20 Stick Welder and Angle Grinder

    I used a plasma cutter when cutting my tank. It's the fastest way and much cleaner than a torch. I agree having a gap makes the door much easier.

    Temp Gauge fittings

    Maverick sells the grommets although they are about 8 bucks for 2. I just Googled high temp silicone grommets and found 10 for I think 9 and change after shipping. I can't remember the company but quite a few places have them in various sizes. I like them just drill a hole and shove them in...

    Temp Gauge fittings

    I bought some high temp silicone grommets. Easy to put in and they were pretty cheap too.

    Reverse Flow 300L Air Tank Build in Greece...$20 Stick Welder and Angle Grinder

    A plasma cutter will take more than an 1/8 inch when you make your cut. Any way you cut it your going to loose some material.

    smoker runs hot?

    I've had the same problem with my smoker I just finished. What was the ambient temp when you were smoking? I noticed mine runs a prefect 235 at 4am when it's cold outside. Once the sun comes up and adds more heat to tje steel, I have trouble keeping it below 260. I've adjusted my fire...

    (2) 500 gal propane tank smoker build. Franklin style.

    Awesome I'm glad your realistic about it. I've seen some trailers and cars with questionable fabrication and welding.

    (2) 500 gal propane tank smoker build. Franklin style.

    Cool build but I've got to say something since no one else will. Building a smoker with your welding skills is one thing but a trailer that will be pulled on the highway is another thing all together. Are you welding the trailer yourself or having a pro weld that? What kind of welder are you...

    Newbie needs help.

    I would go with a vertical UDS. Drums just aren't thick enough to hold heat in a horizontal configuration in my opinion. I'm in SoCal also, where are you located? Kyle

    Baffle Spacing Question.

    Google feldon smoker calculator and enter the tank dimensions. Your specified firebox size is only 25% of what's needed for a tank that size. So in other words your firebox needs to be 75% bigger at a minimum for the smoker to work properly. Check out the calculator, and I would definitely...
