Took the weedeater to the small engine shop for a tune up on Saturday and in looking around, noticed they had a bunch of old AC tanks lying around. One of the guys lives there at the shop and in talking agreed to trade me one of the tanks for a smoked brisket. (for some reason only after hours!!! :roll

My goal is to give myself a winter project and create a receiver mounted grill/smoker that I can put on the back of the truck or the 5th wheel to take camping and for mobility. I currently lug around either the SJP, the SJ, or the MUDS with us when we go out. They take up room and figured I could make a portable unit something like this:

But, being that the tank is just big enough, I'm going to install a plate that will let me separate the fire on one end so that I can smoke in it too. Kinda an all in one smoker/charcoal grill.
Gonna try to keep it as light weight as possible. What ya'll think? Doable. SHould I cut the tank in half all the way(horizontally) like the one in the link above, or just cut out a smaller door like you see on most large stick burners? I'm thinking less leakage with the smaller door.
