Those suk for smokers! Drop it of at my house and I will dispose of it for you! For freeeeeee! Just jokin! Dam bro 500 gal..... Lucky guy! I am sure you will get plenty of ideas from this place!
You are on here and NEED to know what to do with it lol.
Just be very VERY careful to make sure it's safe before you try cutting it etc. I don't know how to make one safe but the guys that do will no doubt be along shortly to help.
This is where I got the plans for mine. It's coming along nicely. I have some pics to post in my thread but I don't have time tonight. Good plans and you can modify them as you go to suit your likings.
Shouldnt cost too much to build. I just got a free tank from a local propane company today. They have alot of them and told me I could come back for more. Got a 300 gal one. Good luck with yours.
I filled mine with water several times and let it sit in water for about a year.
That was because it took me that long to get around to starting it.
It was open to the air through the fill and vent holes the whole time.
I did let a little water out just before I cut it and yeah I was a little tense but it went smooth.
The next time I do it I will fill it with water a couple of times and then fill it with exhaust gas from a good running engine.
It can be dangerous and use caution. Now mine is a tank that was open to the air for decades before I cut it. I would use more caution on a newer tank but I will do it again.
Be smart and make something others are to timid to attempt!
