the tank doesnt weigh that much but i am a big guy. I rolled it to the back yard but without the doors. Like i said i am a big guy. 6'3" and about 300lbs. So I can move some weight around. I would still get a couple of guys to help.
The pitch on the plate ws 6 degrees going down away from the smoker. So when you design the smoker make sure you that you incline it from 5 to 8 degrees so that you can tilt the smoker about 3 to 5 degrees. It also depends on the position of the firebox. so take a little time and think it through.
yes, it is very important to fill the tank with water then cut. Before I filled it i pressure washed it through the openings then dumped the wash out about three time. A basic triple rinse. Then fill with water and cut. i made sure it was full to the top so no fumes can build up. Then after i cut the doors i set a fire when it sat for about 2 weeks.
