Cut off vent
Bro...you got to share the specs on that cut off vent. Best idea/mod I've seen in a while.

Do you have any info to share about how you did this? It's an amazing concept!
That cut off vent is genius.

OK...here is a question(s) regarding placement of the smoke stack on the lid that came with the drum. My lid didn't have a bung opening. Where would be the ideal placement.....directly in the center or to one side? I know that the lids with bungs are used with no problem but would there be an advantage to placing in the center?
Thanks in advance.

I got my exhaust stacks welded on my lid and now the lid doesnt fit as well. A little wobbly if that makes sense so not sure why that happened. Could I use some of that RTV red silicone sealant stuff around the drum lip to help seal it better? I still have the locking rig and could go that route.

You shouldn't really have to give it more air after you take the lid off. In fact the opposite should be true.
If you think about it, before you take that lid off, you only have a very small amount of combustion air coming in through your intakes. When you take that lid off, the fire gets a huge gulp of combustion air (by comparison). It will burn through that air hotter than if you had not taken the lid off.
Your temp gauge drops only because there's some cool air in there at the moment, but the fire isn't running at that new cooler level, it's still hot as it was and even hotter now due to the extra air.
It will easily catch up on its own. In fact, I think most drums will actually run up in temp after taking the lid off. Many turn their intake air off before taking the lid off to prevent too much air from getting in and causing a temp spike.
