    Let the games begin! - 150gal Offset Build

    Update #3. I've been procrastinating posting, hence the photo dump. - I decided to build an internal frame to support the firebox. The internal skin is 1/4" plate with 1" ceramic fire-blanket in between and 1/8" plate on the outside. The internal frame is 1"x1" square tubing. When all was said...

    Need help reading my tank badge!

    Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I just assumed that all of the larger propane tanks were 1/4". Might just add some 1/4" furring strips across the bottom of the CC to bulk up the heat retention.

    Need help reading my tank badge!

    Long-time lurker, first time poster! Y'all have already been a wild amount of help, and I'm hoping you can "officially" help me with a pickle I'm in. I picked up my 150gal tank last week for my first offset build and have some concerning questions about the tank (now that my excitement has...
