I would not burn it. It will trash the nice paint job and there is no need to burn it. Just wipe it out & do a smoke with no meat in it to get it going right. That is what I did with mine.MES 30"

That's why I want to strip or burn the outside Paint off. I will probly just season the inside rather than do a pallet burn.In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

Drilled my holes earlier. All 3 of my 3/4" inlet holes were perfect fit, the nipples threaded in perfectly. My OCD got the best of me and I went to clean the burrs off on the inside of the drum with the step bit... well the bit grabbed just a hair too much and now the nipples are loose... just my luck. Luckily, my neighbor acrossed the street is gonna weld them in place for me tomorrow. After that is done I will be putting the wire brush to the drum and prepping for primer and paint... CAN'T WAIT!!!

Sounds like a good plan. Have your buddy just tack them in place. It don't take much. And be careful because some of the drums are pretty thin and you can blow a hole in it pretty easy.

I bought some High heat primer. Along with 2 cans of flat black high heat Paint as well. Excited to get going on this project.

Use your high heat paint if you want to, but it's not necessary. You'll be cooking low and slow, so no need for special paint. I use good ol Rustolleum. Good luck! Can't wait!

As far as home cheapo or bLowes is concerned . . . well, you get what you pay for.
I prefer not to trust $30 or $40 (or more) of meat to a $10 thermometer.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow
