BBQ is just smoke and beers!
Usually more beers than smoke.

Very cool. How big is that tank....? I watched one of Gizmos builds and with no relative scale to compare it, when I saw it completed, I was amazed. It was so much different than what I would have thought

Puff, its an 80 gal compressor tank 20" dia x 65" long. I'm still not sure how I want to build it I've seen some really nice builds
on this site. So any suggestions are welcome.

Deceiving ... The wheels on the left dolly could be 2" or 5" and the size in my view seems like it could be much much larger.

Yes I had to carefully re-word this sentence

You need to go to church immediately and give thanks for that tank. It is the "Queen-Mother" of perfect tanks to find - let alone for that price. You are indeed the kind of guy I could hang around.

When you're done with that one, there's a bigger blue tank in the background. Who needs air? :beer:

Puff,
I'm not sure my buddy got it from someone he works with for scrap there was no bladder in it but it could have been removed. there are no tags on it or stampings of any sort. but by the writing on it with marker I would believe you are
right. Its not as thick of metal as I first thought its only 14 gauge.
