Looking good! That’s a ton of cooking space. How thick are the tank walls?

Really nice!


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?

Tank is maybe 1/8" - baffle plate, fire box and cc chamber doors are 1/4", the firebox door is 3/8".

I’ve seen these tanks come up for sale for cheap. How was clean up?

Not bad at all...I just started a fire in it and let it burn for a while. One good round of seasoning and it should be good to go. This one is an odd size- 130 gallons instead of the typical 265. I personally think it's a terrific size myself...I wish I could find more tanks this size.

Noted. I’m going to keep a closer eye out. I built a 120 gallon and I’m about to start a 130ish gallon. I loved the 120. Great size and it was super easy to dial in.
