    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Well back to the drawing board. My brother in law's boss wants like $200-300 for the old tank.  But my dad just texted me saying he found me a free 60 gallon air compressor tank. Going to check that out. The price is certainly right. Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, here are some pics...

    Cleaning it, take 2

    I received a PM saying that there is trouble replying to my other thread on cleaning the WSM. So here is a repost to see if this one works. "Just wondering if anyone has an easy way to clean this thing. What I've been doing is bringing out a tub of hot soapy water to the yard and cleaning it...

    Cleaning it

    Just wondering if anyone has an easy way to clean this thing. What I've been doing is bringing out a tub of hot soapy water to the yard and cleaning it there but it's a pain in the butt. Does anyone have a quick and easy method for cleaning it? Cold water from the hose just makes all the...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    You're the man Dave. I might have to name it after you when it's done.

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Is it necessary or just nice to have the adjustable baffle/door between the FB and CC? I suppose you would reuse the piece that you cut out for the opening in the FB... Just trying to wrap my head around all the little touches it'll take to finish off, and what materials I'll need.  Also trying...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    You bet, thanks Dave! I've been kicking it around in my head for days, and have played with the calculator quite a bit already.  I'm confident that I can start building the FB while waiting to receive the tank. I will hold off on the RF plate until the tank is in hand, and cutting the FB-CC...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Wow Dave thanks! I didn't expect anyone to do my homework for me. I wasn't too far off with my sketch last night, but I did notice you have the FB set pretty much halfway in.  The 18"x80" for the tank was off a spec sheet my brother-in-law provided, and I assume it's the exterior dimensions...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    Ok, I started drawing it up and figuring some stuff out. According to the calculated size of the opening of the FB to CC my RF plate is going to be about 2 3/4" off the bottom. Is that way too low? It would be nice if that's correct as It would leave me room for 2 cook racks with about 6"...

    250L build - now a 35? gallon build

    That's right, 250L, not gallons.  It's an old auto propane tank, it's ~85 gallons water capacity. Measures 18" diameter by 80" length.  A few questions. Based on the calculator I have come up with a 20"x20"x20" fire box. Gives me %118 of the recommended firebox size, I figure a little bigger...

    How big should I go?

    I was able to find somewhere online that a 250 gal will roughly hold 40x8lbs butts... which is probably overkill for me. I think I'll be looking around the 100gal mark.

    How big should I go?

    I've been looking around here for a couple days now and have found great ideas and information.  After a couple years with my propane cabinet and 18.5" WSM, I'm ready to step up my game and enter a local competition that is starting to happen every year. My brother in law can get me a 250...

    Hi there,  I've been BBQ'ing for a 2 years now, using a propane cabinet and an 18.5" WSM. Looking at stepping up my game and trying my hand at a local BBQ competition this fall and figured instead of beg/borrow/stealing more Webers I thought "why not build a proper rig?" My brother in law...
