    New 100 gallon RF build.

    Welcome to the site, I made mine without a trailer simply because I don't cook for anyone and if I do I simply cook before I head over. As far a cutting the tank goes you can do what I did simply lay your torch on a brick and let it burn its way through without you being there if your concerned...

    I will point out the damper that's at the top was a great add for controlling amount of heat, opening breaks the draft and I can cool it down substantially, closing provides more heat to the cc, I also never throttle the stack

    Holds temps extremely well once stable, once it gets good coals in the firebox I only have to throw a split every hour or so, something which I really like about this smoker, I also cook everything hotter than most 300-325 for everything I smoke,

    Figured I needed to give this thread the proper closure, I did actually finish this project, just took me about 6 months to get another tank and figured it was so far down the list I wouldn't bother, and after coming on the site to find some new recipes I figured I would show it off, Thanks to...

    Thanks Dave, Got a bit done since my last post, Got the firebox mostly welded, still have to finish the door and cut some vents, Only concern I have now is if I really want to use this tank I have, Its extremely pitted and turned out to be 3/16. Don't know if I want to put all this work into...

    Dave, Question for you, on the RF plate, rather than using the top of the firebox as part of the RF plate, Could I simply install the RF plate 1-2" above the firebox, thinking this would keep the firebox from transferring a lot of heat onto that side of the RF plate

    Dave yes I do understand what you are saying, CC remains the same. Changing part dimensions should will not affect CC.
