I have looking hard for a tank to start my new trailer build with and having trouble finding a round fuel or LP tank. I can get plenty of those oval tanks but was shying away from them because I won't get the size cooking surface I wanted. Then I got to thinking about what if I laid that oval tank down flat and used it that way. The tanks are 27" wide X 40" tall X 60" long when standing up. If I laid it down I would essentially get a 40ish by 60ish cooking surface which would be big enough. Now my main question is, will that 27" which will now be the height, be tall enough for maybe a reverse flow. If I didn't go reverse flow, then I was going to build some sort of diffuser under the grate to distribute the smoke under the whole cooking surface. I would build the cooking grate to be a full slide out, so I am not worried about being able to reach all the way to the back of the tank.
This cooker will be fired by wood and LP.
Any thoughts?
