    My 500 Gallon Build

    Doesn't look like much I know for a days work but it is a big damn tank and those are some large doors. I burned through all my cutting blades I had left (about 15-20) so had to order another box of 50. I also decided to hit the tractor store and bought some new regulators, torch, rosebud and...

    My 500 Gallon Build

    Well today I bit the bullet and decided to cut into this 500 gallon propane tank. I took all the valves off right after I bought to air it out. I filled and flushed it a tile or two then added a large thing of dish soap and filled it with water again. Then grit my teeth, squinted my eyes and...

    Smoking using Alder

    I found a guy up the road that has a tree business and picked up some wood(alder/cherry) from him, which he actually let me have for free. He said he has some maple around but it was barried deep in the pile and I didn't give him much notice so not maple for me that day... I would like to try it...

    Smoking using Alder

    Hello all, I am up in the Pacific North West where some of the wood selection is absent of some of the harder woods like Hickory, Mesquite, Oak and Pecan that most use for the bigger cuts of meat like brisket, Beef ribs and large pork items.  What I have available to me up here is Alder (lots)...

    Dave,  Thank you, i think my lazy eye got the best of me since i was looking at the sector area for my numbers rather than the segment area.  So if i have this correct now, the width of my RF plate would be 24.6 (might go with 24.5 for ease) and the length should be 36.6 inches (43.25 - 6.75...
