Thanks Guys. Time and weather will be the bigest challenge it seems!!

With any luck this long weekend may bring me to the burn-in process. I did a topic search and nothing came up. Looking for any tips. I amd thinking about building a fire in the FB and monitor the temps in the CC for a while then also get a fire going in the CC to burn everything off that might be th...

I'm assuming year round climate takes into effect also. Living in Miami I'm pretty sure not to much losses, so my 50% complete FB does not. I will be using diamond plate on top but just for looks....

Thanks for the tip noXcuse. Sounds like a plan.

I'm getting very close to that point on my build. Has anyone used AC duct? Like 5"??

Yes, some of those things we do are very funny.... after. I think that it would be a great idea to start a thread of "What Not To Do" Each Sub-Topic should have the main componant you are refering to.... Like "FireBox Door". That way it would be easy to scroll and find when searching. If its going t...

If time permits today I'm going to grab the steel plate at a local scrap yard. They rebuild/modify alot of ships in the Miami port area. I'm told they have 1/4" coming in. Good score if it is. Just hope its not to thick.
Should my Baffle plate slope up away from FB end? I think I read 1"????

Thanks for the replys. If it will not make a diffrence I will not bevel. Work in progress.... isnt it always?

Not sure if the images are being blocked/filtered here at work but I couldnt see the link DC listed. Just did my first Propane cut. I Let it sit with water for a few days, drained, filled again waited afew days then cut. I was more concerned with the electricity and water than the spark and Propane....

CJ... I just went though the same question. I landed up going with the single because of the exact reason TuscaloosaQ said. I do see a day will I will want to toss something big in there. Think everything out now......

Hi Smokers... Got some cuts completed on my 120Gal Reverse Flow. Planing out the CC now. Has Anyone Beveled Tuning Plates And Used Them In A Rev Flow? When the tuning plates are butted together it would act as one complete plate. Tuning plates would be different widths and give me the option to remo...

Got it cut!! No boom.... BUT the one thing that I made sure of and I hope everyone else is aware of is using a GFI. That was my main concern .

Before you go build log on to CraigsList! I just paid $1.25 a foot for 2" angle iron 1/4 thick. Guy was down sizing and I was real lucky and got his welder before he posted it . Hobart 175 with cart ,tank and regulator and misc "junk" for $375. some great deals out there.

Thanks DCMAN, The last few gallons are taking FOREVER!!!!!!!

Happy Saturday to all! I should be finished with burning off all the propane that was left in the tank today. Next step is to remove the valves. This is a 120 gal horizontal tank. Should i keep the weed burner that I used to burn off the fuel connected and open so I know that there is no pressure in...

Hi Steve,
Looks good. If the wind blows the right direction I might be able to smell it. I'm in Weston Fl. Welcome aboard from one newbee to the other.

date night works.....

I like that idea skidrow. A little chrome never hurt anything... unless it was in the hand of a jealous man!!

Thanks again for the feedback. I think that the weed burner is going to be the least expensive and the safest do to the size and mounting abilitys. Let the burn off begin.....

Thanks Smokeone...

Good Morning Smokers!
First post! just joined.
Does anyone know the best way to get the approx 25gal of propane out of the tank. Is there adaptors to fill smaller 20# tanks or am I better off getting a adaptor and connecting it to the grill and burning it off?
Thanks

Good Morning Smokers! This will be my first build. 120 gal propane tank just obtained. lots of questions... first one I will post will be about pulling the propane out. Looking forward to the build and thanks in advance for the help and support. Hopefully someday I will be able to help a newbee too....
