Brian..I think you were the one who had PM'd me some info. In the 9th pic where both lids are hanging on the drum I can barely see what looks like two screws in the flange. Do you screw the flange into the drum so it sits higher? I guess I need to grind the handle off and just go from there.
Norco--The bag that those hooks came in don't say either zinc or galvanized. Anyone know for sure if they are?
I'm going to yhe Outlaws today. My FIL has some scrap metal and expando I can use. Guys, is it safe to use rebar and angle iron? Is there such a thing as galvanized rebar or AI?

The holes in the flange are from the handle welds. I leave the flange in the open drums loose so if I want to use the drum lid I just remove it.
Now the closed drums I take one end off with an air chisel and it leaves just enough of an edge that the flange is on tight.
If you have that big of a gap with the flange and drum, you might want to think about just using the drum lid or build it up with some stove gasket.
The 3 lids are Weber clones and Happy Cookers, still work though!
