im not sure... out side just sand blasted and sealer with a good sealer. inside? not sure, fibre glass, maybe line it with somthing, i havent built any tanks myself but im a do it your self kinda guy and anything i can build rather than buy i will.

ive alsao been looking at this site, http://www.aquaticeco.com/subcategories/945/Fiberglass-Tanks-with-Window which gave me the idea to search for agricultural tanks which lead to this. optimum would be to find a fibre glass or polyester chemial container or somthing that could be converted.. ugly at first but they would clean up.

and compared to a tenecor monster or a glass giant, price wouldnt even be comparable

If it has never been used then sandblast the inside to give your coating something to "bite" on. A flexible pond coating may work best. An epoxy may be too stiff and may crack. It's big and cylindrical which means after you cut any hole to put in glass the structure will be unstable. On top of that it looks like it's steel and you may want to keep it in a place that doesnt have too many temperature fluctuations which may stress the silicone seals on your glass.

I competed on the BBQ circuit for two years and that will make a hell of a cooker. Remember, never pre-season a cooker with mesquite wood. Also, use charcoal briquettes only to light a real hard lump charcoal and wood fire.

Pressure treated lumber is highly under rated as a wood to smoke with...it adds that unidentifiable bite to the meat...Creosote is another favorite ingredient found mostly on old railroad ties, that is wonderful on wild game... It's pungent chemical flavor works well with gamey roadkill...
 
mmmm...gamey roadkill...

Several years ago I was driving by a job site and saw a guy breaking up a wood pallet to use in a BBQ pit. I heard later the crew was sick for days afterward.
