Hello, I'm in North Texas (about an hour and fifteen minutes northwest of Dallas) and I'm having problems sourcing some metal pipe. A friend of mine and I are looking to for some pipe to build a barbeque smoker from and the closest place to us, in Gainesville, TX, only has 24" x
3/8" and it's brand new...$52.00 a foot PLUS torch time. I need a place that I can buy pipe in sizes 20" to 26" by 1/4" somewhere nearby, and I would like it to be used (I don't want to pay a premium for brand new pipe, nor do I need the pipe to be certified or pass any particular pressure test). I wouldn't mind buying used or inspection-failed propane tanks if they had the proper wall-thickness.Can anyone make some suggestions of where I might be able to buy this stuff?
I wasn't sure where else to post this..there doesn't appear to be a newsgroup for BBQ smokers..but if there was a better place for me to have posted this please tell me.
Thank you for your help.
