First time trailer smoker builder here ready to learn

Post by p3ripperfw » December 18th, 2016, 3:58 pm

Hey guys just bought a 24"x84" empty propane tank to build into a reverse flow trailer pit. First time building a smoker but not new to metal fab. Looking forward to sharing the build with yall and soaking up the great advice. I found the forum after watching Franks video on cleaning out tanks prior to cutting. :beer:

Thanks guys! I've been checking the calculators and trying to review threads with similar size units to see what's working. There's tons of good info on here.
