So I picked up my oil tank last weekend and my neighbor who is a fabricator will be doing the welding on it for me. I want to do this right the first time so if anybody wants to chime in with their pros and cons please feel free. Take a look at my crappy sketch Also attached are pictures I found of what I want my finished tank to look like.
Some basics:
- 275 gallon tank
- I will get a custom 26"x4.5' flat pan since I boil in batches.
- I'm going to line it with 1" fire blanket and then fire brick as well.
Questions:
- I got the 2" pipe from the guys house I removed it from so I'm thinking of having my neighbor weld that in the cavity that will be sealed off from the back to the front to introduce more air to the fire? Good idea or no? I will also have a cleanout in the front that I can keep open for airflow as well.
- How much fire blanket do you typically use for a tank this size.
