Got this tank for 100$ and I love to cook and sell BBQ on the side. It's 500 gallon I have another 500gallon tank and was wondering if I should use that for my fb. Just cut it down and weld it.
I'm thinking duel 6 inch stacks will work just fine at grate level.

I'm not a welder myself, but I came across this thread which has all the calculations I think you need.

I have a pipe 6 1/2 inch diameter about 5 feet long exactly . Would 2 smoke stack work of this size.
This will be an offset smoker. I need to find what my fb will be made out of. I have 4 ideas. A 120gallon ish fuel oil tank 44x 27 oval . A 85 gallon water pressure tank 44x 27tank 1/8th inch . A 500 gallon lp tank cut down to size for the firebox 37x36 . Or make one out of 1/4 inch steel 36x36x36... on another note will a singe 6.5 inch smoke stack work.
Been a while since i posted. So i picked up a lincoln welder. And started on my smoker.... first was to cut the doors out the first do
or was cut with an angle grinder. And finished with a sawzall.
I made the handles and hinges for it from 1/2" bar stock.

I am starting a 500 Gallon as well.
I cut the doors 225mm from 12 o'clock and 75mm below 3 o'clock to lower the door weight and get 3 racks in there.
1/2" bar stock maybe a little on the weak side and constantly beend out of alignment with a door of that weight.

I used 1/2 of a 250 gallon tank for my firebox on my 500 gallon tank build. I did insulate it.
Are you going to use a water pan?
I made my water pan so it can be filled from the outside so you can fill it easily while cooking.

You could turn your reverse flow plate into a water pan/ grease cather. That's how my smoker works. Be warned it sucks cleaning it out I put my sludge in old bottles and take to a recycle plant monthly
