Welcome to the site. The air tank is a good size and will give you great Q. Ask questions and none are "dumb" so don't be nervous. Post pics as you go and of the finished product...........the food.

Sorry been gone a while, was trying to get the smoker done, and not had time to do so. in 2012 I was informed that the plant I work in was going to be closed down, that ment looking for work, found a new job, moved to a new state, now I have time to get the smoker done. going to get some pictures this week and get them on here for everyone to see what I have done. The tanks has the door cut in it, hinges mounted and I started making the fire box, got the frame done for the trailer.

Thanks, I thought that no one answered my post, when I went to the settings some how some of my options were changed. I have to get some pictures up, as to where I am with the build, went last week end and got 4 tires and rims from a ford ranger for my axle. the axle I am going to use is a Dexter Torflex axle.

Sorry don't think I can reproduce that, don't remember where I got the chain from. I don't think it will burn out quick either.
