I bought a roll of 6" roof flashing, wrapped it around the tank where I wanted my cut, and taped it with overlap. If the overlay was straight, then really the cut should be straight, and I just used the flashing as a straight edge and cut the thank with a cut-off wheel on my grinder (actually went through about 10 cutting wheels).CGTex wrote: ↑November 27th, 2018, 10:11 pmHi Tipps,
I think I have the same exact tank size. 'Planning to do the same basic thing as you did (round firebox made from the tank). My questions are: what was the best way you found to cut the tank? In the photos your cuts look so straight! And secondly, I guess the fire wood and fire inside the two pieces initially was to burn the left over tank grease / tank residue / impurities out, and also to remove the outside paint? Also, did you MIG or stick weld (which stick) for the most part? It looks great!
