Thank it sure will. Gonna be a lot of work. Already started digging into it a little. Needs a couple patches so far. That’s to be expected especially considering it used to be a water tank. Gotta get the engine dolly here so I can get it spun to the direction I want it to start cutting into it.That tank ought to make a real nice smoker

Ok thanks I didn’t know if there was a set distance or not. I was thinking what ever the RF plate is I would make that line and go in like an inch past the weld on my tank and connect the lines under the tank and cut that out. My FB might stick out of the Cc a little I haven’t decided if I am going to insulate my FB yet.I went in past the weld... My tank was an Air Compressor tank... I configured mine so that the top FB corners matched up to the tank where the corner of the fishmouth cut was made... Meaning the FB didn't stick out past the tank nor was it to short and would have to fill in the gap...
Whatever the height of the RF plate is going to be, Thats how high I made my cut around the end of the tank from weld to weld...Figure out what that distance is straight across... That's how wide I made my FB . If your not confused... I am...
I would still go 1/4” on the inside where the fire will be. Thinner could eventually burn through. Maybe you could go thinner on the outside.If I decide to insulate my FB. Is it still best to use 1/4” steel to build it or save the money and weight and go with 3/16”?
Not a bad idea thanksI would still go 1/4” on the inside where the fire will be. Thinner could eventually burn through. Maybe you could go thinner on the outside.
Ok thanksI would say just rounded to the nearest 1/4"is fine
