How to Build a Propane Tank Smoker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2018
- I had an expired 100lbs propane tank and I turned it into a wood burning smoker. I've built a few smokers before and I incorporated lessons learned into this smoker.
Also I forgot to mention that to protect the meat from direct heat of the fire, I use a round metal plate and large water bowl above the fire to help retain and moderate heat while also providing protection to the food being smoked.
Also check out the smoke ribs that I made using the smoker:

I even won a runner up prize from Instructables with this recipe.

I love this, especially the fact that you gave a discarded /disused propane tank a new lease of life.
Welding your hinges on before doing the full cut was so simple but I know the headaches it saved!
I have 3 of the 100lbs tanks and thought about building a smoker or two. Your video was the first to pop up and is now the one I saved to help build mine. Nice job!!
As a professional welder I can appreciate your craftsmanship and attention to detail.
This is the best and only way to prep the use of a propane tank. Great video
As a pit builder myself, this is great craftsmanship brother! I use propane tanks all the time to make cheap pits, I've never done a 14" as a vertical smoker, will definitely try this out brother.
Excellent. Well organized. Instructional and clear
Great job, for the family and a few guest. Portable, efficient and effective. Love it. Thanx for sharing
Excellant job. The only thing I would change is the doors, or rather, leave a space between them so you don't have to open the "fire box" to check your meat.
Evigael Navarrete there are two separate doors!
@@Samil101 they are sepperate, but the fire door overlaps the smokebox door.
@@colb9916 my thoughts too
Amazing...I’ll be using this as a guide when I build one!
This is some of the best I've ever seen on the web. Very nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Im from Mexico, its an excelent work. I´ll follow all the steps you do. Its time to work!!! thanks
Totally enjoyed watching your video. Impressed with all the thought and planning that went into it. BRAVO ZULU
I'm currently studying on food processing course and i'm on the 'smoking' topic. this is a good alternative for a smoke house, less expense and less space to take wherever it is placed. thanks for the idea! This is a good build.
Great job! I built a similar one some years ago using an old 100gal air tank. 24" in diameter with five shelves, a water pan and a steel plate to diffuse the smoke/heat. Nice thing is that Weber racks fit, the water is a 22" dia. hot water tank drain pan and I had the diffuser panel cut from 3/16" steel plate which you could order from your local steel supplier. It's taller and I did two doors, one for the racks and the other for the fire box.
One thing I would change is the relationship between the two doors, your design has to open the fire box to open the upper door, I would separate the two, so each could open without the other.
i notices that too
I agree completely
That was an observation I made as well. I’ve got an old air compressor waiting for a makeover like this.
I had the same thought, but it's the firebox door you'll be opening most often. The seal strip should be there.
Use a 30lb propane tank and make a separate fire box.
I've wanted to do this for a while and this only reinforces that idea. Nice build and some nice beads on those welds.
Nice job dude, came out perfect.
Great job on the smoker and the RIBS!!
Good job on the grill.
Impressive work.
Excellent job. Almost makes me want to learn how to weld!
Nice job I am in the process of building the same unit, thanks for the tips.
Great job! Just what I was looking for before I do this to an old air compressor tank. Thanks!
Excellent work. I had exactly the tank and the project that thanks to you It will become a reality. Regards from Panama
Incredible job...and those ribs look amazingly delicious.
Wow...I'm a welder, now I can make one of that....thank you very much for showing this big help....I really like it.
Should he have cleaned the metal before welding?
Wonderful job, young man! I was impressed with your detail from beginning to end. As for the " thumbs down people" well, I would love to see what they have built. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
They're the ones that use propane gas to bbq...
Good build. Nice, thoughtful approach.
Fab job... i am in the uk and gonna start mine next week. cheers
You're an engineer!!! Fantastic job
Thanks for the video.I have a propane cylinder and was looking for ideas
Step by step genius! Abso-frickin-lutely awesome tutorial. THANK YOU DUDE! 🤘🏼❤️
This looks amazing. Great job!
Well presented - well executed - well done ! I just happen to have a big propane tank begging for the same treatment - you have given me the inspiration to get off my sorry ass and give it a go !
same here, Brother !
Really good job, have built a few myself
Nice job! That smoker came out looking great.
Great project ya got there. Good explanations as ya went along - very helpful indeed....thanks
Seems.like a well equipped shop ya got there....
Thanks for posting
Very cool job!! No bark on the wood…… but everything else is awesome.
Very smart with the hinges.keep all your trimmings and freeze them until you build so you can season the grills before first cook.
Great job! Very cool. Loved the door handles.
Excellently Executed Great job enjoyed every method incorporated into the build
very nice job on your smoker. I liked watching this video
Wow, that came out really nice.
Great Job. Nice how to get it done.
Excellent build!
turned out nice, great job
I see lots of people build and weld first without proper wire wheeling for paint first. Its even beneficial for your easy grounding for the entire project. I always clean my stock 1st. And I don't even use a Arc (stick) welder.
More like a tall grill.
I did like how you approached hinge situation. And tacked grate edges to round bar. Really Slick.
I cringed when I seen you put on that galvanized stack.
The way you put on flat bar, as YOU say bar stock, was systematically done well even though top door should of had strip at bottom. Smoke rises. But I get why you did it.
I have same tank and want to make a reverse flow smoker, and that's why this vid caught my interest.
But ill be cooking whole hogs at a time most likely instead of small bits and pieces.
Thanks for the ideas and brainstorming.
Happy grilling!
Excellent build. Great technique too! I’m very impressed with this design and it would even just be a great little stove when you weren’t cooking! Great work buddy! 👍
Absolutely. My gears started turning when he used the stove pipe.
Really nice build and a great video. Will check out the cooking video next.
Excellent Job! Great Video...
excellent. Regards from Argentina
LOVELY THANKS FOR SHARING THIS NICE IDEA
Nice job, you've taught an old dog a few new tricks in craftsmanship.
I've only got smaller propane tanks in the garage. Glad I have a powerplasma cutter to help with the cutting though.
Hello, nice job, congratulations from FRANCE
Impressive job! Time for me to build one.
That looks awesome man great job I am plan on making me a smoker from a barrel this spring
Great vid Andrew, really well thought out smoker and well made , Cheers mate ,I will subscribe to your channel as you have peeked my interest as to what other projects you have done/doing that I may be interested in, I also liked your attention to safety it sets a good tone for anyone thinking of taking on a project of this nature
Outstanding work sir
Great job; skillfully done! If I were going to make any changes, I would leave a band of steel in the original tank between the fire box door, and the loading door. That way one could tend either chamber independently. Love the way the food came out, and that's the proof of the pudding!
I was thinking the same thing. And I would have sand blasted everything first before welding it. Clean metal brings better welds.
Big up your self right now, trust me. Very nice
Nice job. Good info for when i build my smoker.
Nice! The ribs looks tasty!
Awesome build mate.
Nice video and thanks for sharing.
This is the BEST Looking-Practical, awesome smoker i have seen on TH-cam-I can tell you are well organized and take such pride in your craftsmanship-Tim in MI
Absolutely the best smoker build I've seen yet! Love it, think I'll borrow your ideas and build me one too! Thanks.
Best smoker video you have seen??...how many did you watch....2 of them?...🤣🤣🤣🤣
th-cam.com/video/mI50XCjanJs/w-d-xo.html
@@Toolmybass but this link is not to a 100lb propane tank!
I want to make one of these . Great video!
Cracking video. Wish I had 1/2 of your welding skills as is love to make my own smoker
Great Video! Excellent Job! 👍
That's a lot of welding and cutting....but as it happens, I have two of those that are out of date so, I could build one. My vertical oriented 55gal drum with a Weber lid on it, has been doing a good job. It is built from the "Ugly Drum Smoker" concept. Doesn't cost as much or take as much time to build. But I like the idea that it has thicker walls, and has easy side access.
Hell yeah man great job man I am also thinking of making a smoker myself
Nice step by step
Amazing design !!!!! Awesome
Nice build !
I've been in the mood for some short dino ribs of beef !
Love the build
Thank you for ur video…. I made the exact smoker … thanks again
Awesome you did a really good job
Delicious 😋. Great project
I have one as well. The design is a little different but the exact same tank was used to make my smoker
You did a great job kid!!!
Your a good welder. Nice work.
I really like your built ,
Sick as, nice work dude!
awesome job
Great video thanks for the info!
I want to get my hands on a tank that size. If I had one of those me and my everlast welder would go to town and make a nice smoker. You did a really good job on that one man.
Grab a water heater very similar size if not bigger and people throwing them out all the time!
@@120ohm The water heater is much lighter gauge, would probably not hold up as long.
@@orlandorojas5362 they are glass lined as well.
Looks great. How do you clean out the ash? What about grease inside? You don't have a deflector to keep drippings from catching fire? No clean out drain?
Brilliant ,best one ive seen.
Very nice build, I have a 200 gallon air compressor tank I want to do the same too. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. And I subscribed to your channel
Nice! Clean results!
Great job!
Nice work!
Subscribed man!! That was cool. Thanks for sharing.
Nice build!!
Andrew. YOU ARE THE MAN !! Best build I have ever seen, outstanding . Very well done.
Many thanks, Rob (London. UK)
Great job man!
Cool project!
Hell yeah.i subbed and this was a great video and cost you next to nothing to build really. Thanks for sharing
Nice build.
