Since I have this holy shemamma sized rolling BBQ pit I figured it was time to build something a little smaller and managable which really I probably should have done as a first project. I had a bunch of smaller propane tanks laying around so here we go!
I cut the ends off of a couple of 30 gal tanks which is alot harder than it looks to make a straight cut.
here they are together...see where we r going
got the door marked off and sliced like butter.
figured Id need a cart too
found some wheels laying behind the shed.
cut a smaller tank for the firebox and did a test fit
heres the opening to the main chamber.
of course i need some vents as well along with a door. believe it or not it took a long time to figure how I was gonna make that door.
basically I just took the bottom of another tank and fabbed a latch and took an extra set of hinges left over from the king cooker which I had to cut bend and fill to fit.
stole the stack off of my charbroiler store bought
made some simple hinges and framed out the door.
added a handle in these pics.
got the reverse flow plat welded up.
got eric to cut out a couple of vent covers and slapped em on.
stole the grates outta the chargriller as well. just cut to fit
got the burn out going here. two days later I did the seasoning
added the thermo and ready to cook.
added a handle for good measure to roll this baby around
figured a storage grate would work too.
started with a small butt.
threw some salmon on when temps were finally falling.
basically thats it in a nutshell. heres the king mini smoking and ready for clean up and paint.
honestly I had the notion that I would take this to the comp with me and throw a for sale sign on it to help offset some of the expense. but now after using it I dont think I can. I used just 10lbs of charcoal for the entire cook and it worked great. I dont know still might sell it. hope youall enjoyed the show!
and what Rick said!, I love what you did with the entry to the main chamber! 
leave the valve!!!
