1000 Gallon Offset Smoker Build Part 2 - Cutting into the big tank

Part 2 of the smoker build. We cut the firebox hole into the cook chamber, came up with a plan for the inside of the firebox, and worked on the frame of the trailer.

Hey guys! great content and love the videos. How did you come to your final measurement "x" how big was your hole if you remember i have a tank i am starting to do research on the build so anything is helpful.

How did you come up with measurements for cuts to center and attach firebox to cook chamber ?

[@dwill008]

A bro how did you map out the circle?

[@TooMuchBBQLLC]

We figured out how high up on the tank and how far into the tank we wanted the hole to be. Then we found the midpoint between the two and marked it. We basically eyeballed the side to side. Then we tied a string to a marker and held it at the center point and drew the circle. Took some time to get it where we wanted. Hope that Helps!

@@TooMuchBBQLLC did you reference the fire box at all?

[@TooMuchBBQLLC]

Yeah, mainly for the size. We made sure the hole isn't too big for the firebox. We wanted the top of the firebox basically right in the middle of the cook chamber. So that's where we got the mark for the top of the hole. Then we put a mark on the bottom of the cook chamber about how far we wanted the firebox to sit into the hole. Keep in mind both of our tanks have the same diameter.
