Drum roll please
 

Whoooo Hooooo dang Ima feelen like a full blown Brethren :becky:. Yes friends and fiends it finally happened Ima Drum Head. No real pron of the build, it just took forever. Dear friend of mine helped me get the drum, the burn and the pipes welded in. He also built the fire basket. It was an interesting process to say the least. The funniest part (for me)was he didn't have a step bit or appropriate sized bit for the intakes so he just used his cutting torch then weld the nips in.
He dropped it off at my place late last Thursday and on Saturday I installed the grates and gave it a test fire. All three vents open I brought her up to 425. Then cooled her down to 250 and threw on a plain fatty and some country ribs. Had to cook something. The bigger cook was planned for today.
Found out my lids isn't tight enough as 14 hours later the drum was at 150 with everything shut down. I'll be tightening it up soon. :blah: Learning curve has started

So here is what I consider my inaugural cook, with a throw down entry in it. A little of everything. ABT's, MOINKS, SPAM, Chicken legs and a sausage fatty. (I'm full for now :roll:)

Congrats!! Food looks good.

I would hit that in a second! congrats on the UDS... even if you did not build it :)

Congrats! I want some of that!

Good grub to break in the drum

Looking Good!!!:thumb:

That's the running joke with my friend. He says 'I couldn't do it with out you' I say 'You wouldn't have done with out me'
We'll see how long it takes for 'US' to finish his drum :roll:

Another Drumhead the world should shout hahaha

Looking great Pa!:cool:

Way to go, Pa! When's the "big cook" so I can get it on my calendar? :becky:

Oh yeah, I see a can o' SPAM, but nowhere do I see it cooked. What gives?

Since ya let him practice on your drum, maybe his will not take as long :becky:

Yeppers, she's ugly awrite.:thumb::thumb:

I crisped the SPAM a little longer, no pron but it will be lunch in about 5 minutes :thumb:
