somebody shut me the fark up.
A few weeks ago I picked up a 120 and a 100 gallon propane tank to put together a reverse flow smoker. This is where I've gotten so far. It's a learn as you go project for me. I don't weld, and as of today, there are no welders in my area worried about losing their jobs!
The smaller one will be the firebox, larger one, the reverse flow. The larger tank is 24" x 66".
Cut open:clap2:
Leveled up for marking out the doors.
Cutting out the doors. They were 1/4 of the tank circumference in height. I left the corners uncut until the hinges were welded on.
For the hinges, I took 5/8 steel rod and heated them up in an old farriers forge and bent a 90 for the pins.
I took the cut off end from the firebox and welded on an angle iron and used that to form the tanks curvature to the hinge pin.
I welded 4" pieces of 1x1 angle for the hinge staples
I was able to utilize the cut off end from the firebox for strips for the doors:thumb:
I went with two doors while leaving the smoker opening unobstructed in the event a whole hog comes to town:-D
That's all I've done so far, I'm out of steel and $$. Next week is a killer week for work, so maybe I can give it a whack next weekend. Thanks for looking, and please comment, all help is so appreciated!
