I use 1.25" angle 0:20 for everything. 1" is too weak and will sag over time. I use 3/16" thick material.

@mikencrcf6018 Thanks! I appreciate the videos. Grates are being built this weekend. I am building a 288. Thanks again !

1.25" actually. The grate slides are at the center line. The grates are 1.25" tall and they sit on the slides.

@@brightmornings7876 contact me through the Mysticsmokers@gmail.com email and I'll help you however I can.

Thanks! I'll be here. Keep in mind that I offer full build kits as well if sourcing components becomes problematic and getting to Georgia is an option.

@lunchforlouie 1. Forget the feldons and other calculators which recommend 1/3" or any other ratio. That stuff is garbage f8r anything over 80g. Contact me via email address Mysticsmokers@gmail.com and i will give a phone number there.

I'll try to do better. I've just been super busy. Thanks for your support. It means a lot.

@ No problem sir you have a business to run. I get it. Your videos are so full of knowledge and detail. I modified my first out which I’m giving to a friend. My next one is going to be completely from the ground up. I have two rack frames done. Two stacks cut. Two collectors cut and welded. I need to build a tank roller like you have so I can cut the tanks and roll them as I cut.

@deadapple7942 Thanks buddy!

24"×30"×3/8"

@@jamesbradley9288 The fb is 24"×30"×3/8" wall thickness. If you have problems sourcing components, keep in mind that mysticsmokers.com offers any component needed from full build kits, all the way down to a single hinge.

Millermatic 255. Running. 35 wire and 90/10 gas. I run straight mig about the time and pulse mig the remainder.

Great question. Here's my favorite for each component. Cook chamber 1/4" Firebox 3/8" Collector 1/4" Stack schedule #10 These are all a compromise between weight, heat retention, and ease of cut. I can tolerate a bit thicker cc, but not by much. I've built several 3/8" systems and found no advantage. It's just harder to cut and the doors are 30% heavier.

@@mysticsmokers3014 Thanks Mike, that's great. Last one from, but what's the widest diameter that you would tackle for a smoker? Is 47 inches too wide for a cook chamber?

@conradanderson404 Mysticsmokers bands are 1/4"x2" . Anything smaller or thinner is a waste of time and money in my experience.

@@hectorrapalo7222 Sadly, I can't get the option to translate your comment. Perhaps someone can help with that.

Do you mean make a reverse flow cooker? I do make those as well. They come with benefits and drawbacks.

No. Since the radius is so much tighter on a 24" diameter, coming down that far can make the top grate shorter. I come down 2 inches on 120/150g cookers.

@ what distance would you suggest?

2 inches for 24" diameter tanks​@@oscargideon5737

@skipper3069 I may have missed responding to this. If I did, please reach out via the Mysticsmokers@gmail.com email address. I'll give a phone number there. Lol, or just call the number on my shirt.

Thank you so much. Let me know if there is anything you guys would like to see. Some guys have recommended a "shop tour." Im not sure how much interest that would draw. Another top recommended topic is the shipping process.

That’s cool man, congrats on the success!

I get texts and calls each week from guys who say they were terrified of joining a round fb. They ALL say that is was far easier once they just started. I get photos all the time that look fantastic. Dont be intimidated if you want a round firebox. They are far more efficient and far easier to operate. Im here to walk you through it. Reach out via mysticsmokers@gmail.com I'll give a phone number for speed dial. Lol

@@mysticsmokers3014 thank you Sir!!!. I just started the search for a 250g propane tank. Hopefully i get it soon and get started!

If you can travel to the metro Atlanta area, I sell full build kits if you need components. Tank Firebox pipe Stack pipe Collector kit Hinges Handles Grate pulls Fb latch All Door bands One stop stop. Guys frequently drive from various states around to pick up the kits. The price is super cheap

@@mysticsmokers3014 sounds very tempting, but thats a 21hour drive from Albuquerque New Mexico. With your videos and hinges from your website you are helping me a ton! Thanks again!!

@somedude0505 yikes!!!!..that's a haul...some guys know truck driver and I load them on a back haul..

@recentlyretired I used elbows for many years. Ultimately, I learned through a lot of experimentation and trial and error just how much more efficient a properly designed collector actually is at moving air. Fluids (air is a fluid) hate to enter a flat hole. The close we can approximate a funnel, the better. Elbows are cheaper and far easier to install. If there wasn't a significant difference, I would still be using Elbows. Cutting a simple round hole and welding it in place literally takes minutes.

@@MLSPlatforms I get tanks from several sources. I sell full build kits as well. So, I need a pretty substantial number each year.

I appreciate the kind words. I'm editing a remake of the layout video now. It may hit TH-cam tonight.

This is my method: 1. Make sure it's empty. 2. Remove the valves and vents. 3. Dump one gallon of cheap dish soap inside. 4. Add one quart or so of bleach and fill it about 5 or 6 inches with water. It's just enough to cover the bottom good. That's where all the greasy mercaptan will have settled to. This step will pay off later. 5. Allow to sit for a few days if you have time. If you can pull it around on a trailer, that helps shake the soap up. Otherwise, reach in with a broom handle and stir a few times. 6. Fill to overflowing with water while on level ground. Make sure the water completely fills the tank and flows out the top. 7. Sometimes, I like to use a carbide holesaw and drill a 4 inch hole where my collector will be. That allows me to put a pressure wash wand in there and help flush that mercaptan off the bottom surface where it settled over the years. Use a cordless drill to avoid electrocution!!!! 8. Drain and begin your tank layout process. Watch my video series for tips and ideas. th-cam.com/play/PLOAnrxoOXhlcen4bnoxXA1KwQM6aUkyQP.html&si=S98fgMtBNbfSa3v1

@@heytheremogwai I assume you mean tag/registration. The process varies from state to state. In Georgia, we register the trailer as a home built trailer.

Great question!!!! Go to the mysticsmokers.com website. You can see all of my hardware and components there. In addition, feel free to reach out via the email address mysticsmokers@gmail.com I can give a phone number there ad well.

It may flex a great deal if you do that. If you've already made the cut, what does the cut look like? Did the tank lip dip down?

@@mysticsmokers3014 I have already made the cut.What do you mean by lip

What?

I'm not sure what you are asking here. The roller makes the vertical door bands for a smoker cooker. Rolled perfectly to match the tank diameter. I designed and make the roller for cooker builders.

@@mysticsmokers3014 where to buy one. I mean.
