Hello Everybody

Post by Manufacture Builder » October 13th, 2016, 4:26 pm

Hello everyone, my name is Pat and I am a manufacturing instructor at a high school. This year my students are building smokers. I will probably need some advice along the way. Thanks

Thanks guys, just one question to start. How do you neutralize a used propane tank from the scrap yard so it can be safely cut? Thanks
