It looks like a diamond in the rough. What are the dims/ It looks like it is at least 36 inches by 84 inches. That will give you lot's of options.

Don't forget the pics.

Well thats going to be a whole different project I think. I can't decide if I want to cut the whole end off and make a fire pit or just half of it. A vertical wouldn't fit in my shop. Not enough head room. To cold to work outside right now.

Jist razzin ya gatewood... they are probably not nearly as practical but I just like verticals - they look cool - 'specially round ones - guess I'll have to shut up and build one to get it out of my system.... :D

:LG:

The size of that tank makes for a whole lot of cooking space. That will be great for larger events, and so much you can do with it. It would be like a smoke house if you were cold smoking. I guess the cold got me wanting to do some of that.
