Hello,
I have chance to get a piece of 24" diameter chromoly steel pipe, wall thickness from what I've been told is in-between 3/8-1/2" thick. Anyone have any experience making a smoker from chromoly? I understand this is very much overkill, it'll be heavy asf too, around 110lbs per ft. At $50 a foot tho it's a smokin deal :). I just don't know if it can be done, will I have to preheat to be able to weld it? Or not important because it's not structural? Has this been done before? Can I even cut it with a torch? I have a plasma cutter but not one that can do 1/2" plate. How will it work for a smoker, will it hold the heat like regular steel?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
