I always add some bleach to the tanks to neutralize the Methyl Mercaptan odorant. Simply add a bit of bleach, slosh around, and it forms a orange precipitate (solid) that is inert (it's more orange than rust). Otherwise you will ruin your cloths, shoes, marriage... anything the odorant sticks to! Methyl Mercaptan can be absorbed through the skin and will attack the nervous system. Simply watering it down might be ok with small tanks but on large tanks that may have a lot of odarant you must neutralize. After The bleach treatment I invert the tank and allow the gas vapors to escape. I generally rinse with water but rarely fill it entirely as I'm doing large tanks. Purge appropriately. On large tanks this is a multiday process. Ref: Welding Design and Fabrication Website >>>> Beats me why few propane smokers fabs. don't cover this important step.
Did you fill with water before you cut? I was given a tank. It has been sitting with the regulator off and if memory serves me right it has atleast 2 or 3 plugs removed and open for over 5 years. I wonder if there is still residual propane in the tank?
how do you measure for your reverse flow plate to go into the smoker? do you have it to where it angels up away from the fire box to keep the heat flowing??
There should be no angle to the plate. Best to make it even across the tank and use a level on the trailer before cooking. There is a science to how the smoke is drawn by heat out of the smoke stack
I know this is an old video but first off, great pit, and even more you hit a home run being your first try. I just have one question. Why is the smoke stack by the firebox? I thought it had to be opposite end to transfer smoke to other side.
Nice build, curious how it gets up to temp, holds temp, how often you have to add fuel? I've seen several builds and recommendations from calculators and based off of what most of the seasoned builders do, it looks like your fire box is smaller than most, the area underneath the RF plate is small, and the stack is small for this size cook chamber. This is not a criticism, just a question. you did a heck of a job, would love to see a video of it in action! thanks
Fire box looks a little small
Smoke box to small and to low as well, stax is to small as well
Sweet!🔥
Should’ve put that smoke stack on the opposite end of the smoker. Great job though.
What kind of tanks are these?
Great first build.
To small Fire Box...
Wow my guy nicely done!
What calculator did you use for the firebox? It looks way too small
That's one awesome smoker it's got all the good bits
Fire box too small
Man that was freaking awesome! How many hours did it take and what was the total cost of materials?
Nice
what is this?
whats the pipe for under the grill?
Cleanout plug.
Liked the smoker, good idea with the casters, cool trailer job, just didn't care for the rocky theme.
I wish I could get tank that big. Working on something like this with my powerarc would be fun.
Man that’s awesome!
What is the diameter of your smoke stack? And the height of your reverse offset plate? It looks really great!!
What size is the propane tank?
How many gallons is that smoker tank? Very well planned out and execution of the smoker build by the way. Very impressive
Nice but your firebox sucks ass
Nice!!!

I normally don’t comment on videos I watch, but...NICE JOB 👍on the build. Now a video on a cook.
Yoooo Adriannnn!!!
Excellent 👍🏽
Very cool video, thank you for sharing. Beautiful final result!

ALWAYS fill that thing with water. Take no chances.
Waww
awesome build!!! how many gallons is that tank?
I think it’s a 250
how do you measure for your reverse flow plate to go into the smoker? do you have it to where it angels up away from the fire box to keep the heat flowing??
thespig13 did you find an answer to this question? I’ve been looking for an answer too

How big is your smoke box ? Very nice job.
Bad ass song for a bad ass smoker

Seems reverse flow is a colder smoke....?
This looks so nice. I wana build one and start my own business. U dont get these here in UAE
Where would you get wood?
@@bstrunk57 hi there are some companies that sell wood chips for a variety (apple, hickory etc). But they are chips only not wood chunks
ugg - reverse flow, disappointed
It is about time I get out my everlast equipment and make myself a smoker. Watching this video has made my mouth water.
Nice 👍🏾!!!

Nm, I just read it was a reverse draft smoker
You are a beast ! That's a nice smoker
fukin amazing, very nice , wowww
Amazing!!
That is unreal! Very well done bud
Steve how did you flush all of the gas out and how did you cut doors in plasma/grinder without tank blowing up
Very good my friend!
