I realize that this is an issue that has been addressed previously, but has anyone found a quick/easy way to get the epoxy liner out of a lined drum? Are there any solvents/strippers that will work?
after 5 cooks ive noticed a weird temp spike after two hours. ive done a butt, two pork
loins, fattie, and a chuck roast. they all shared the same spike around two hours. it only went up to about 280 and i was able to dial it back down. is this from the meat starting to render fat? anyone else experienced this? is this just the way my drum is going to cook?

As it appears you are in the Charlotte area, you should be able to call several area shops. Also, it might even be cheaper to just call around and buy an unlined drum. .
Lotta elbow grease and beer. :thumb:

Working on building my first UDS right now. The drums I've got have removable locking lids, and the lids themselves have a ~2" bung and 1/2" air vent both with screw-in caps. In y'alls vast experience do you think just removing these caps during the cook would be enough ventilation for the smoke or should I drill some more holes? Right now I'm thinking that the bung alone would provide about as much flow as the vent on a Weber lid so no additional modifications would be necessary, but would appreciate insight from you guys.
Thanks.
You didn't read the whole thread.....cheater. I use the same lid, works fine with the large bung removed, I actually use a fridge magnet to close it off partially at certain points during my cooks.
smokeyw can you explain your build maybe then someone can help answer your question.
