I have contacted Suburban Gas to see if I can get in line to buy a tank. Surely they test these tanks and determine that some of them are no longer safe for fuel storage. At least I hope so. I can pay a premium well above scrap steel pricing.

BTW it's all done in jest (for those of you who happen upon our corner of the web for the first time), If I, or anyone else has done something that is not "PC Correct"...just PM me, and I'll tell you where to go
Life is just too damned short to get pissed off and hold a grudge about things that are typed on the internet.
Screw the PC world, I gotta go tell an ethnic joke now...

Mike can use the plasma cutter to put our chapter name up on a plaque. Reverse Lettering is what I'm thinking here. Then we could string it between the stacks or something.... This should be really nice. I saw something like this painted red running behind another FORD this week and said .... That's what we need. IMO we need to paint it the same color as the Mudder Truck and we can pull it with that when weren't not racing it If It gets street legal. If not, it would be just nice to have them side by side at our meets.
Let's do it !!!!
I was just checking on this and to buy a sub par item like this .... your talking $4500 or so. http://www.holsteinmfg.com/7238g.html Man, we can build this thing for a few hundred with the tools and people we have around here.

I think this is what Mike wants to do:
or this:
But I had another thought. I was watching "Gone in 60 Seconds" (the recent one) last night and saw a cool BBQ right at the end of the movie. It was built out of the front end of a Firebird. We could build one out of the front end of a Bumpside, have wheels to tow it in the front wheel wells and when you pop the hood, there's the grill. Something like this but on a bigger scale:
Maybe something like this, but only the front end:
And there are some interesting ones here, several made from propane tanks:

I am not against any of the ideas posted so far, but we have to keep in mind that we want one that can compete in a professional cookoff. We need to design the best possible BBQ, and then add whatever glitter you guys may want.
BBQ Grills and roasters are not complicated - there is one famous one that is just a wooden cart with a tin pan to hold the bricks - roasts a whole pig.
The grill smoker part is a bit more problematic as you want the smoke to flavor the meat -
But the idea is to have the best cooker we can build. The extras are just the sizzle to the project.

Would the tires be in the way for cooking?
We need our master chef to speak up and tell us what we need! It is his cooker.
