Patching tank openings

Post by Hh76 » July 29th, 2017, 8:40 pm

I've got a roughly 100gal tank that will hopefully become my new smoker. Tank was originally used for some sort of media blasting, according to the guy who gave it to me.

Perfect size for me, but has all kinds of inlets/ outlets that I thought about patching. I will definitely take care of the bigger ones, but is there an issue with simply plugging some of the smaller, threaded openings?

There's no problems with plugging them as long as they aren't in the way.
