Found a compressor tank from a customer, looking to get started. Already cut the tank stand and compressor stand off.
Would like some ideas to what threaded inserts in tank. Will cut and fill if not needed.
Open to ideas and suggestions.
I have so many questions, mostly measurements, size, etc.
thought about a few things, not sure if I am going to go trailer, then again, maybe??? Would like something that looks nice in the back yard and be able to take out to the park, lake,etc. I live in North Dakota and would like to use in the winters.

Here is the tank: Measures 30x45, tag on tank says 113.3 gallon. Which size do I use for the calculator, both measurement and gallon size are different. Not by much, so is it better to go oversize on the firebox and stack?
I thought about a few other items to add onto the smoker such as a hot water heater with cold water tank, burner for frying or cooking corn, rotisserie, maybe a warming box. Would like to have some other options like a propane burner for regular bbq'ing and starting the logs in firebox.
Boom box, ice cooler, TV/DVD player.... Ok, getting little carried away.
Anxious to get this built as weather warms up.
To start, I have used the calculator for the measurements of the tank as it was a little larger 22x22x24 firebox. Will probably use 1/4" plate and maybe insulate it with blanket? Or use fire brick? If I go with fire brick, do I increase the firebox size to the bricks?
What is the best size for the cut-out for the door? Would like to have 2 cooking racks.
Sorry if too long, Thanks in advance for your help,
Ron
