I made this for a friends cabin.

Did you fab that from scratch, or start with a tank? I have always wanted to build a barbecue and heard of people starting with propane tanks.

Can *I* be your friend :laughing:

Very nice work... planning for large parties!!!

 

[Bill Barrett]

Very nice!
I like big grills/cookers too.
Here is one of mine.
End of a 1000 gal LP tank.

Nice!

I'm wanting to do something with this, but I, myself, can't. Have a buddy that can, but he's too busy chasing women...

What if you just want to cook a few hot dogs?
That thing is long enough to roast a human. (I've heard they're tough though. Worst part is getting em to stay still while you turn up the heat)

You gotta conk 'em on the head first. Or talk real nice to 'em in an easy voice, be real smooth & convincing :thumbsup:

Here's my ugly drum smoker.
55 gallon drum with a stainless steel pail as a firebox.
Holds a temp. Of roughly 200 degrees Farhenheit.
Ribs take 4.5 hours.

He brought the pipe and we went from there. It stands at deck height at his cabin. So you can grill right from the deck. For a few dogs just build a small bbq in the corner by the exhaust pipe. Works fine. He had a party there last summer and did 100+ brats/dogs at once and still had room for burgers. It makes a great smoker too. Burn your apple or mesquite in the far left corner and cook meat towards the chimney. It was a fun project and i owed him one for helping me move in January.

Nice one Bill!
That would make a perfect bbq schoolsout. I made one out of a cylinder once, it worked just fine. Always a bit scary that first weld or cut though. I know its obvious but, burn that thing for a good long while before cooking on it.

A friend and I built one out of a 500gal fuel tank (old been in the field for years). We built it vertical and does a smoked brisket great. Don't have any pictures at this time will post when I get to work.

But where do you find the monster to BBQ?

This time?

You might have to downsize the file... there is a limit if it's too big.

You know that might just work.
"Would you mind schooching over here just a little? You're looking so evenly browned but I'd like to get just a tad more BBQ sauce on that right thigh just to even things out":licking:

A pit I made from a 250 gallon Propane tank. It had already been purged and pierced when i got it.
