I'm back again. My last post here was on September 19 of last year and I was getting some technical input from you guys on my build. It has been nearly a year, but it's now about 90% done, the rest of which is purely cosmetic.
My project started life as an 80 gallon vertical air tank and was all that I could get my hands on for a reasonable price. 80 gallon was a bit too much for my requirements. I unfortunately had to cut it down, which was no easy task but it miraculously came back together as a 63.3 gallon, and squarely at that.
Here is the final product. I've been documenting as much as possible during the build. If I had to guess, I probably have around 150 to 200 hours into it. This week I'll be bringing the barbecue home where I can begin the sealing process of the paint and the testing stages of the barbecue. I already had it cooking once, but without cross flow vents as recommended by Daveomak and without the rain cap I fabbed up. Rest assured, there will be more pictures to follow and a more detailed break down of the build, but this is just to get the thread started!
