That is one sweet rig too Rick. Since the CC isn't acting as the fire box like an RF it seems that thinner metals are fine. That pellet drive is a sweet device for those smaller cooker for sure.

My tank is 3/16 and I've got it setup as a horizontal RV. Haven't fired it up yet but 3/16 should be fine either way you go..
