not yet complete but i fired it up to season and play with heat
55 gallon drum
weber lid
3- 1 1/8 holes for intake /with magnets
fired it up last night went to 400 degrees fairly quickly at that point i placed magnets over two of the intakes. i was able to maintain 300 degrees by leaving magnets over two of the intakes i left the third one completly open. was real happy how easy it was to make changes with the magnets. one thing i noticed was i could make quick drastic changes with the intake adjustment. but when i would mess with the exhaust vent on the weber lid changes where not very noticable just 5-10 degrees with the temp creeping very slowly would have to wait 20 mins or so to notice the changes. even when i shut the exhaust completly it acted this way.some smoke does leak around the lid flange but not any worse than it did on the weber kettle. i noticed this same tendency when using the lid with the kettle also.
