I'm looking into building an offset smoker in the coming year. So far, I have had a really hard time finding the size tank I want (80-120 gallons). Has anyone here ever had a metal fabricator roll plate steel for them to make a tank?
We have a big fabricator here in town that I'm going to check in to see how much it would cost to roll a 4x8 plate for me. Based on a quick internet calculation that would result in a 3' diameter tube 48" long. Which would be pretty huge... I'm thinking 24" in diameter is probably more what I would want.
What I was wondering is if you guys could let me know what roll diameter between 2 and 3' I should ask them about. Also, what thickness of metal would be best. I know guys look for 1/4 or 5/16 steel. If you guys could pick any thickness for the steel what do you think I should get a quote for?
Thanks!
