Question 1

How long does a propane tank last?

Accepted Answer

I have 2 propane tanks always start with full tank on smoker, switching used tank to grill when done smoking uses half tank per smoking session As to not worry about propane running out, I always start with full tank You can place tank on scale to determine volume remaining

Question 2

could you smoke like four 15 pound hams in this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have smoked two full sized briskets, six racks of baby back ribs and four sausages at the same time. It has five cooking racks that can be adjusted for height or removed altogether, which gives a lot of latitude on smoking height. Btw, our house has natural gas, so I modified the smoker to run off natural gas rather than propane and never have to worry about running out of gas in the middle of smoking. Hope this helps.

Question 3

Can this be built into a bbq island under a drop in bbq

Accepted Answer

What do you mean by under a drop in? No if you're trying to place something over the top of it.

Question 4

how can you get the temp below 200

Accepted Answer

You will need to install a needle valve in series with your gas line.  This will allow you to have the tank valve fully open (really hard to vary it anyway), as well as leave your dial on the smoker in a set place as well (also, hard to adjust, since a small adjustment can still lead to a large change in temp).  Having this in place, you can then fine tune the amount of gas going to the burner.  You will also need to play around with the top and bottom vents to see how they effect the temp.  I would suggest testing out a few different setting without any meat present.  You essesntially have three variables to play with (assuming you leave the valve on the tank and dial on the smoker alone), the needle valve, the bottom vent(s), and the top vent.  Keeping two of the three constant, change one of them slightly and note the result.  Probable best to keep a log so that you don't have to rely on memory when it comes time to smoke.  Also keep in mind that the temperature (and/or lack or present of wind) outside will also effect the temp inside.
