    Building a 500 gal. propane tank RF smoker for a friend

    Got the smoker done.....for now.  There's still more to do, but not in the immediate future.

    Building a 500 gal. propane tank RF smoker for a friend

    Thanks for the kind words of support everyone.  Had a great weekend and got lots of work done.  We got it loaded onto the trailer, and the tank & firebox welded together.  Tonight, we were even able to fire it up and do the first test.  Everything worked better than expected, so once I finish...

    Building a 500 gal. propane tank RF smoker for a friend

    I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd update with a few more pictures.  The tank is back from the sandblaster.  The drip pan is in, and the rack handles and frames are finished.  It's still in two pieces, but once it's on the trailer, I'll hot glue the two pieces together.  The trailer...

    Building a 500 gal. propane tank RF smoker for a friend

    The tank is at the sandblaster getting cleaned up, and the trailer is not due to be delivered until after Jan. 30th., so we got the firebox and oven (hot box) done this weekend.  Still need to make the slides, racks, and door seal in the hot box, but its coming along nicely.  Damn, this thing is...

    Building a 500 gal. propane tank RF smoker for a friend

    A friend of mine owns a local restaurant and has used my 275 gal. oil tank smoker in the past, however he's finally decided that he "needs" one of his own.  After much discussion, we decided to go with a 500 gal. propane tank for the heating/smoking chamber.  It will be mounted on a 7' X 14'...

    Getting Desperate

    Good thought, but I do have a CO detector in the same room because of my coal stove.

    Getting Desperate

    I never have either so this is a first for me. I smell the smoke a little, but no more than when I smoke outside and finish in the oven. The insulation is tight inside the window, and the dryer vent hose fits pretty snug in the hole. The door seals pretty well too, so there's not that much...

    Getting Desperate

    Thanks, but no, not quite. I put in on around 7:00pm, so it'll probably be ready around 7:00am. It'll be a long night.
