building a new cooker
Just picked up another 275 gal. fuel oil tank to make into pig roaster. Have some ideas for it. Anybody done one before, or have some ideas to share? Thanks for any input.

I am in the process of building one right now. Okay, maybe not RIGHT now, I haven't done any work on it in almost 2 months, its just too cold outside.
I am laying mine flat instead of standing up like most people do them. I sarted by building a metal Rack to hold it off the ground. I plan on putting heavy duty wheels on it so I can roll it up on a trailer to haul it. Havn't got much more than that done so far. I would love to hear some ideas on how others are making them, pics would be nice too.

The guy who built the Cyclops has some great tips for pit building. I got a ton of little hints and ideas from his site.

Going to do a few good burns in it to burn off all residues. I live in Watertown, Ct. , so I got a few months of cold weather here yet to get it done. Plan on laying it horizontally and cutting it to open like a clam-shell. Will be able to put whole split hog on with no problem. Mounted on trailer to move around. Lots of good ideas so far, thanks guys.
