    Change in plan but getting ready to build

    I have another tank going on the other side of the trailer there. It is a 60 gallon air tank that will be a charcoal grill. I figured I would use the other side for that and My wood box and storage box all on the opposite side to balance the trailer a bit.

I will have the doors cut tonight and that will be my next project is to get a baffle plate welded in. I used the calsulator to figure out everything else but I wasn't sure if it was...

    CUTTING PROPANE TANKS

    I had this all planned but now am a little nervous. I was origionally told that if a propane tank was filled with water, it pushes all the gas out and is safe to cut because the chemical mecaptain(not sure if that is right) is non flamable and there just for smell. I really don't want any woofs...

    Change in plan but getting ready to build

    Ok, it sounds like maybe that wasn't the best idea, I liked it though. how about the 150 gallon as a reverse flow and then on the opposite side maybe make the air tank into a regular large charcoal grill for other things, I.E. hamburgers hotdogs etc. I think that was the weight won't be an...

    Change in plan but getting ready to build

    Ok, I was going to do a 250 build but got these two tanks for nothing. One is a 150 and the other is a 116 gallon. I know it is probably overkill but I am now thinking about 2 reverse flows on the same trailer. I am not sure if the 60 gallon air tank will hold up to the heat to use it as a fire...

Mine is great the day it comes off the smoker but when reheated it is horribly dry. should I soak the meat in a broth before or while reheating? any...

    Anyone ever use a water pressure tank?

    That is a great Idea Chris, thanks for the input. The more research I have done on this the more insulating the two tanks sounds like a great Idea. I do believe that if the tanks were sandwiched together with insulation between layers and the firebox was also insulated with thermofiber that it...

    Anyone ever use a water pressure tank?

    Here are a couple of the tanks I have picked up. Without checking yet it appears they are either 12 or 10 gauge. Is that sufficient for building a big rig out of?

    Anyone ever use a water pressure tank?

    I have acess to 4 Water pressure tanks approx 6 1/2' high by 3-4' across. They seem to be about the right size but they also seem to be built out of a thin gauge metal. Will there be heat loss issues with these or does anyone have any experience with them?
