I'm not completely finished with my drum. I still have a couple handles to find, bottle opener, and think I'm going to have my talented Graffiti artist son get creative. But I've done a test smoke with a few fatties last weekend. Today am planning a small cookout with some friends. (damn rain might be getting in the way). smoking some burgers, beans.
I let the drum go for about 7 hrs before shutter her down. Can't believe how efficient this thing is with the fuel. I could easily have gotten 16 hrs of burn time with it.
Started with a new 55 gal drum
the surface rust inside was an easy fix.
The grate bolts are a bit different.
Not the best shot of the charcoal basket. used and 18" cooking grate for the bottom, expanded metal and some bolts on the bottom for legs
This is the rack that I'll have directly over the charcoal basket.
lower cooking rack
and top cooking rack
Not really sure if a water pan is necessary but I picked up a stainless steel mixing bowl anyways. it's about 15" in diameter and pretty deep.
Ok, so you HAD to know that I'd go with RED for the main color of this thing. But like I said, I'm thinking of having my son do some graffiti type painting to this. BBQ themed of some sorts.
So Bubba, can I come in?
