I got an old propane tank in looking to turn into a smoker but it still has residual propane in it, what's the best way to clean it? Or should I just scrap it and get a clean pipe?

Pump it full of steam before using anything that can produce a spark. I'm assuming it's already depressurized and the valve is unscrewed. I used a clothing steamer and let it fill for a while before I took an angle grinder and welder to an old gasoline transfer tank.

The end caps have already been cut off, that's how I got it.

So it's a tube now, and not an enclosed tank with small valve opening?

Correct. About 24 inch diameter, 6ft long.
