A buddy and I started our first big build a couple of weeks ago and with the exception of having to chisel out cement of one the tanks we are using we are moving along pretty quick. We are using two water tanks that im guessing are around 200 gallons. I'm a welder by trade and my buddy is a journeymen plumber. He was able to acquire the tanks for free while redoing a heating system in an old school building, we had to drive about four hours there and back to get them but hey you can't argue with free. The red tank that you will see is slightly thicker than the other tank, lined with cement, and had a giant hole for an entry point to access the heating element inside so we decided to use this tank as the firebox and patching metal for other tank that had six ports on it. I will start posting pics of current progress and think I have a pretty good grasp on this with my welding experience and have spent hours reading plenty of the forums on here but please feel free to give me any pointers that you can![ATTACHMENT=885]smoker21.jpg (2,274k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT] [ATTACHMENT=886]IMAG1328.jpg (2,072k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT] [ATTACHMENT=887]IMAG1357.jpg (2,043k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT] [ATTACHMENT=888]IMAG1358.jpg (2,046k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT] [ATTACHMENT=889]smoker print.jpg (1,242k. jpg file)[/ATTACHMENT]
