Nope....nothing on carts specifically but lots of builds on the site have had similar needs. Just do a little searching on the build threads for ideas. I will mention that these things are heavy so wide tires are needed if you want to roll on grass. I was looking at golf cart or go cart wheels.Thou...

Is there a resource that covers how to build a cart with all terrain tires so movement over grass is possible?

I have a 120 gallon tank.Spec plate says wall thickness is .140. Looking at a welding gauge it looks to be between 1/8 and 3/16” . Wanting to plug the holes after I cut bungs out . Should I use thinner material or thicker.

Tank is a 250 gallon.Blocks are under the feet about 4 feet apart.
Suppose it could but looking at the tank it isn’t visible.

Have a tank up on blocks. Torpedo level on one end shows level.Same level other end shows that end is high. Bubble is still within the lines .Should I be concerned ? Was trying to use Frank’s method from his video .Want to get the tank marked so I can start cutting on it.Are there any other methods ...

Could you point me in the direction of this calculator?

I have a second 250 gallon tank that I will be cutting the firebox out of. I know this is probably a stupid question.When figuring the length of the firebox do you factor in the depth of the end cap or just the straight portion of the tank?

I have a couple tanks that have been valveless for a couple months .I have done the water and dawn routine on both. But both still smell .How long does it usually take to get rid of the smell so I can be sure it is safe to cut ?

Haven’t cut anything yet on my build.I found two 250s with hemispherical ends .Was planning on leaving them .Thank you for the explanation.

Insight from the originator is definitely welcome.But your explanation does make sense.

Just watched HDM Smokers new video on sprung doors.In it uses a porta power to adjust the tank between door openings.Just curious as to way use this method opposed to adjusting the door itself. Not criticizing in any way .It worked.Just new to this and like to know the reasoning behind it . Sent fro...

First question :Does anyone have a quick and simple way of finding the center of a hemispherical head on a propane tank? Second : I have gone to the calculator with both 6” and 8” stacks , is there a “standard” or most common size for the diameter? It will be on a 250 gallon tank. Third and probably...

How many and what size drains are you guys using on your pits?

How makes that “Floppy” tape measure Frank is using in his YouTube videos?

After seeing how large the 500s are I would agree.Too much for me .

Wasn’t really set on any size in particular.Just wanting to be able to reduce the amount of gear in the garage.

I have a Dyna Glo smoker and a Old Country Wrangler.The Dyna Glo can do ribs and sausage fairly well.The Wrangler can do Boston butts fairly well.When I cook I usually cook for my family for the week.Was just wondering if maybe having the 250-500 would be easier that than having two separate smokers...

I have a question .Those of you that have built your own 250-500 gallons smoker. Do you use it to bbq for your immediate family?Or only for large groups?

Name is Jesse.Contemplating building my own smoker and grill.Haven’t worked out the particulars of either yet.I have watched a bunch of Smoker Builder videos.Thought I would look here for more inspiration.
