![[1000 Gallon Smoker Build] How To Cut A Propane Tank](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Vc8Mu75DUhM/mqdefault.jpg)
Great video. Would love to see a complete series on building a smoker, from start to finish, with going over all the different steps and different ways to handle each step. You do a great job explaining and going over the details thoroughly. I think it would make for a great series that’s been lacking on CZcams, not much great info out there.
I’m just now in the process of collecting parts for my 120 gallon build and appreciate the info. Thanks for the content, and Keep up the great vids.
thanks bro and will do!
I have been recording this entire build start to finish and have broken it up into major chunks.
I have used this product on several tank coatings
Blue Bear 605 pro
coating removal. Very safe to use.
excited to see how the build goes!
I run a hot fire inside the tank, then go over it with wire brush on my big angle grinders. Comes off very easy.
I love that Bauer surface conditioning tool, it’s comfortable and works fast.
for sure!!
Awesome awesome video
I definitely use those goggles. A anything open on any side is a no no.
Can’t wait to get that tool.
heck yeah! I use it all the time now lol! it does help remove rust but it is not 100% though
Yes, great video. I like what you're trying to do, but if the mill scale look is what you want, paint-tripping might be the way to go. It will leave the mill in place and lose the paint.
Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Awesome Frank, I've been curious about that tool since I seen BS BBQ use it on their offset build. I think I'll be ordering one off Amazon for sure!!
they are worth it bro!
I agree. They are worth it. I haven't tried the HF surface conditioning tool yet but maybe when I have some fun money I'll pick that one up and see how it compares to the Restorer. I can see how for one handed use the Restorer wins but it also has a wider frame so the HF surfacing tool would probably win when it comes to getting in tighter spots.
You can also buy kits to instantly teat for lead paint
I’ll check that out
What do you do for cleaning the inside of the tank? Noticed on my build quiet a bit of buildup and have just been spending time inside it with a wire wheel. Wondering if there is a better solution. Thanks!
I have a 250 from 1993, would I be okay sanding down the flaked up areas and then just laying down a clear coat?
Is leaving the mill scale an advantage for appearance only if you're going with a linseed oil finish, or perhaps a clear finish?
I would think that if you're going with an opaque finish, it wouldn't matter. Or is it a matter of adhesion of the paint/finish?
Yes, it’s simply for appearance.
If for some reason you do remove the mill scale and wanna have that dark finish, you can add an acid wash which I’ve been doing on some of my newer pits, then coating them with linseed oil
Fun City good show
I am concerned about lead paint on a 1952 tank I am working on. After prepping loose paint and coating with linseed oil is it pretty safe. I know I need to be careful with the dust and removal, just curious how well it's is sealed up with the linseed oil.
Great question, of course, anytime you heat something, stuff will vaporize and get airborne.
I don’t really think the linseed oil would permanently seal the lead vapors or whatever but I really do think that it’s not much of a risk after the build is complete.
Most of the risk comes during the build where you’re grinding and sanding and things.
Have you ever tried a pressure washer with a turbo nozzle
We have. They work good also! We used the nozzle kit that hooks up to a power washer and has a sand sucker tube that you put down in a 5 gallon bucket of sand. only issue is making sure you don't set the gun down on the ground and kee[ water from running down the hose into the sand sucker nozzle. If it does the tube plugs up. the nozzle wears out eventually so you need to find a replacement.
I have a tank wording on plate is very hard to read, how do I know by measuring if it’s a 150lb tank, that’s what I think it reads
Great question,

On this page there’s a calculator that helps you figure it.
It’s the cylindrical tank volume calculator
I've seen some builders leave the paint on and then cover with either high-temp clearcoat or the boiled linseed oil. Is there a downside to leaving the paint on? My first thought is if the smoker gets too hot and the paint burns off it could smell pretty bad and be harmful or toxic.
I’ve actually left the paint on also.
First couple of cooks on the smoker. You might smell that. Otherwise it goes away overtime.
Not to say that in certain situations it couldn’t be bad smelling or toxic.
Most people don’t have any trouble though
@@SmokerBuilder Thanks! Some of them look pretty cool with the old paint chipping off look.
I used a chemical stripper and it took the paint off down to a dark grey metal surface. I assume this is the mill scale? Sorry for the ignorance this is my first build. Do i just put the linseed oil on the mill scale or do i need to take it down to the shiny metal? Thanks. Also is there a program (free) that i can use to open up the cnc files from the plans i got off your site? for the 120 offset build.
yep, the dark color is the millscale. I put the boiled linseed oil directly on the steel. I actually try not to get the millscale off but some does come off anyway. for the free cad program just use QCAD.
You mentioned lead paint several times. How sure are you that lead paint was used on the tank? Did you use a test kit? I've made a few propane tank smokers and lead paint is something I've always been concerned about with small children around the house. Even just a small amount of lead paint dust would be something to be very concerned about.
Great question Josh!
I am not positive, only operating on the assumption it is. Mostly because a high percentage of outdoor paints back in the old days did contain lead. Since this tank was re-painted many times since it was built in 1950 it's a perty safe bet in my opinion.
i need to know the price of a 1000 gallon and 500
hey buddy, I don't actually build them for sale currently but a lot of buddies do. try HDM Smokers, Big Phil's Smokers, Backline Smokers, Cannon Pits, Green Money Fab, Titus Smokers, KFM Metal Works, SG Metalworks, Moberg smokers, Cotton Gin Smokers, Shirley Fabrication, Mule Skinner Smoke Rigs, Red Devil Smokers, Capo Cooktops, MM BBQ Co, MillScale, etc
Wb galvanized tanks
Most of the time the tank is not galvanized unless it was used exclusively for water.
Propane tanks are not galvanized because propane and I super captain react with galvanized and will cut holes in the tank.
Most of the time it’s a galvanized painted tank, and the propane never comes in contact with that surface.
Propane tanks are always mild steel.
Why do you want to retain the mill scale on the tank?
Hey buddy I just wanted to have a look.
I’m actually going to spray this down with some acid wash stuff and see what it does.
The mixup between the mill scale in the raw steel should get some really unique colors
Great video Frank!
Have you ever used a chemical stripper? I'm a big fan of the needle gun, I used them on tanks in the Boilermakers, but I'm not a fan of the noise and the small surface area affected.
I guess I'm just looking for an easier, softer way. 🙋👍
Hey! So, I have used them in the past and they do work really well! Not really sure why I didn't use that approach on this one other than rinsing the stripper off with water could leave some surface rust and I wanted to prevent that if I could.
@@SmokerBuilder thank you very much! I'm getting old and my lungs are gone. I spent too many years on the end of a grinder and was hoping to take advantage of your experience. I'll be calling you for hinges, etc. When I get this tank cleaned up and ready to go.
Thank you again!
Sean Manwill,
Cusick, Washington 👍🙋
@@SmokerBuilder do you recommend any stripper? Would love a video on that. Thank you
@@HogMan2022 awesome bro! you're welcome!
@@TheMikeRybak I really don't know which one would be best so I will do a video on that also.
I might wind up using another tank for my Live fire set up on this trailer so if I do, I will have the chance to test some of them. Stay tuned!
What’s up!
yo!
Would it be possible for you to do a linseed oil video - original application and touch up - thank you
absolutely! I will be doing it very soon! will be publishing one video per week if I can keep the pace so fingers crossed, it will be up soon!
Is that just standard linseed oil as the clear coat?
@@underthetreebbq7341 we actually use boiled linseed oil for the darker color
@@underthetreebbq7341 Yep! boiled linseed oil that you can get at nearly all hardware stores in the paint section
@@SmokerBuilder any issues putting that on the smoker box?
How do you remove the rust from inside the tank?
great question Fernie! Normally you will not find rust inside a propane tank unless it has been standing open for some time or had water in it for a long time since the mercaptan is oily.
However, I normally do not concern myself with rust.
I mostly will powerwash the inside of the tank and then scrub it only if it is really bad. then just season it like normal with some kind of food safe oil like pam etc.
@@SmokerBuilder thanks for the info👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lmao
The metabo burnisher wheels are the only ones that actually work properly but they are too expensive the cheap ebay and Amazon ones are shit
