1000 gallon propane tank smoker....need some help

[daninnewjersey]

Long story short...I need a 1000 gallon propane tank smoker and am looking for some guidance. Does anyone here have detailed....or kinda detailed....plans or pics of a build? Looking for direct flow with 2 levels if possible. I found a tank but it's pretty pricey. Any connections to cheaper tanks in the NJ/PA area would be great, too. If email is easier, please use downbeachbbq@gmail.com I would REALLY appreciate the help. Thanks....Dan

DownHomeQue did a 600 Gallon build here;

He has also done a 250 and 150 gallon builds. He might be able to give some insight to your build.

Can't wait to see this build thread!

Wow... looking to open up a store with your upcoming capacity? I thought of DownHomeQue too. His build looks pretty nice.

Thanks guys. Yeah...starting to sell a bunch and need the extra room. Plus, to me it would be such an awesome toy to have.....

Oh and by the way...for a large tank...check with TuscaloosaQ. I remember hearing he has a ton of old tanks he bought as a lot and is dying to get rid of some of them.

Have you tried to get a quote on a rolled steel cylinder? That way you are not stuck cleaning the inside of a an old propane tank.

No but I don't mind the cleaning....means I get to build a big fire in it... :mrgreen::mrgreen:

These might work for you if you made a double chamber.
