Ok so I got these two 120 gallon tanks almost two years ago and have been saying I was going to do a trailer build. Putting them back to back. I was hoping to get started on them last week, but do to a family member's passing I am just now getting started on them.

Nice tanks!!!
If your going RF make sure and cut the FB notch completely out of the tank and make your throat opening in the FB

Hey sorry its taken me a while to respond. And yes I will be taking Frank's advice. After I made those cuts I realized I should have done that. I haven't got anything else done to it yet except for cutting up all the 1/4 in. Plate for the fireboxes. Tomorrow or Friday I will have the fireboxes welded and hopefully the doors cut out afnd hinged. My firebox will be 22x22 according to the pit calculater its about 5 % too big. I was wondering if I make the chimney a little longer if that will make up for the Firebox being slightly larger. Any opinions and advice would be appreciated. I am using 4in. Pipe for the chimneys.

Well size does matter but I don't think you'll notice 5% larger (TWSS) ....

haha, TWSS!
anyway, if you used our PitCalc, the stack size the calc spits out IS matched to the current FB size you input

I used the fenton calc. it outputs pipe size and length. I found that helpfull when raiding the scrap heap at work for supplies.nice to have options.
