Threw a tape on the tank taday, she measures bout 48 inchs long and right at 27 inchs across. Should make a decent size smoker.

Ken, was told originally was used as a liquid storage tank, then some 25 plus years ago was converted to an air tank. Feller said hadn't been nothin hazourdos in it. Figuer a good scrubbin and power washin then a nice hot oak fire outer take care of it. Thin weights a ton!

Steve, this tank was originally fer spraying, then spent 20 plus years doin service as an air tank. New life bein a smoker! My guess would be thatn this company built tanks fer darn near any purpose.
