    Keep your eye out for a jet ski trailer. they are usually in good shape with very low miles

    Compressor tanks make great grills. They are beefy that's for sure. Been trying to find an 80 gallon one myself.

    I put the feelers out on social media asking for a trailer. Have three that I need to go take a look at this week. Once I get that I'll start to figure out what I need to do to mount the grills and make the grill surface and rod for the pig roaster.

    My next grill after #5 dies will be a propane tank. I'm trying to get a local propane co. to sell me one, but they never give me an answer. I'm not sure but I think by law in this state they have to scrap them. :(

    I don't think new ones are to terribly expensive. Thought of going that route too.

    Your dang right! It's still a usable propane tank though, so prob sell it for that.

    Ours are just 3/4" steel box tubing and expanded metal. Thought about stainless steel expanded metal but steel was $75 a sheet and SS was $475 a sheet. Guess which one I got. It gets a little surface rust on it in spots over the winter. Its coated in pig grease the rest of the year.:grizz:

    I'm one step closer! Woohoo!!!! Went and picked up the oil tank and a trailer this past weekend. I put them on the trailer to test size and placement. Wow I'm excited to get this going!
