The start of my first smoker build...60 gal air compressor tank

[bjordmia]

Looking good, my first build was a 60gal air tank also, but yours looks better than mine did, it is now on a remodel (KATitized), now that I know what I am doing.

Ken, I have watched your videos over and over again trying to pick up every detail. This was loosely fashioned after your 20' x 48" Love the work you guys do!!! Keep it up! -Brian

I stare at my beloved air compressor secretly wanting it to die so I can make it a smoker.
Somehow, I don't the think the wife would let be start a build by spending the money to buy a tank, but if my compressor happens to die.....

I feel so dirty.

That's hilarious!!! Put an ad on craigslist that you buy old air compressors. You get guys that call that want next to nothing for them. $40-$60 is not uncommon. I leave the add up all of the time and have started collecting them. Or you could spill your beer on yours. Better yet, blame it on the kids...haha

haha !!!!
That's a fantastic idea.
Much better than praying that mine dies. Certainly much cheaper. haha
