Smoker build question

admin

I’m going to build an off set smoker, and I’ve got an old air compressor tank that 14”x24” that I’m going to use for the fire box. I’ve found an old diesel tank that is 19” wide by 36” long. My first question is this; do y’all think 19” is to narrow for a cooking surface? I’m planning on cooking just one piece of meat at a time, so the the biggest piece of meat would be either a rack of ribs, or a brisket. The next question and MOST importantly is, IF I’m able to secure this old diesel tank, how would you go about ensuring any and all diesel particles, fumes, and residue is removed so that it’s safe to cook with. Thank you in advance. 😀


Reply:19” is big enough. The some tragers are that diameter and hold a brisket
