Default Smoker Build

I have a friend who likes to smoke meat. He decided he really wanted a big smoker and that he wanted to save money and build one instead of buying one. The problem is, he doesn't really have a lot of tools and doesn't know how to weld. He asked me if I could suggest a good welder to buy, and I told him to just come over and use mine since I have everything he needs to build it. I could even help him with the welding. That was before I realized how large of a smoker he wanted to build...

Initially, he found and bought a 330 gallon propane tank and was going to cut that down to the size he really wanted which was a 250 gallon tank. (Both of those sizes have 36" tanks) Then he found a guy in Georgia that sells a kit to build your own smoker, that included a 250 gallon tank along with pretty much everything else he would need. I was up for a road trip so we made the trip from Wisconsin to Georgia to pick up the goods. He decided to build two smokers, and sell one to help pay for the first one. So off we went and we came home with two 250 gallon tanks and a bunch of other heavy stuff.

The 330 gallon tank sold in less than a day.
