I just joined here a few days ago and have been reading alot but still have questions about a build I want to do . I have a propane tank that is  32" tall x 24" wide and can't decide which style would suit this tank better .   I will use charcoal as my heat source . I mostly do boston butts on a Weber 22.5" grill right now

  My original thought was to build a vertical unit like a WSM  . After all of my reading I am doubtfull it is tall enough to put 2 racks in it and turn out a good product . So I have been thinking the tank may be better suited for a RF or if an external firebox would make it into a good  useable vertical cooker .

 What do you think ? 
 
Kind'a depends on what you like. Building a smoker is as much fun as cooking on it.

scdigger,

Do you have any other pictures of your smoker?  Me and a buddy are looking to do something very similar, but with a bigger tank, 64 gal. one.  Our idea was to cut the bottom off, and add a fire box below, but the same basic idea.  How big does the chimney and the reverse flow need to be?  is there a way to figure that out?

thanks
