Would you guys burn it once if it had soy bean oil in it? I would think that would be perfect for the first smoke and its already black so i could paint it as needed.-
What ever it takes to get to bare metal inside. Most food grade barrels have a liner of epoxy or vinyl etc. This must be burnt off to bare metal. Taake care to avoid the toxic smoke.
I say burn it, I ork with that oil daily and it's not the food grade stuff so just be safe and get burning.Would you guys burn it once if it had soy bean oil in it? I would think that would be perfect for the first smoke and its alreay black so i could paint it as needed.

I'll be knocking it out tomorrow and hopefully cooking myself a birthday brisket. :-DMine had olive oil in it...I just wiped it out and fired up a full basket of cheap Rancher briqs so I could play with the vents just to get an idea of how she burned before puttin' some grub on.

Welcome to the drumhood. Now get to Cattle Call and tell us all about yourself:-DNot sure what I'm doing, but after reading the entire thread, I had to give it a shot. Got a reconditioned drum and some miscellaneous parts and started building. Did an initial burn with charcoal after torching the inside with a propane torch. Today's goal was go as hot as possible to help burn off anything that shouldn't be in there. Tomorrow I'll go for long-term temperature control. Soon I'll throw some real meat on this thing and see how it goes!
