Is lookin for wood to cook with.
Congrats! Great UDS, I like your side table mod.
How long did it take for the butt to cook?

I like having the Kettle for burgers and the lid is available
Source for the lid, and round grates?

I am fairly new here, and I have been studing this thread.
Starting a new build, should I add on here, or start a new thread?
I am picking up a used 55g open top drum tomorrow. Source says it had water soluble paint that washes out. I intend to burn off the outside paint from the inside, thus burning out anything that might be left behind.
After the burn out, can the inside be treated with cooking oil to prevent rust?
My first three steps are:
1. Drill 4 ¾” or 1” 2” from the bottom
2. Fit with nipples and secure them
3. Fill with hard wood and burn the inside clean and the paint of the outside.
Regarding the placement of the thermometer...I see that it should be at "grate" level, but I'm assuming that it's mounted to stick just above or just below the grate. I also am assuming that it should be just below the grate, so as not to impede the food. Is that correct?
This one was nice bright metal inside. To tell you the truth, I think it was ready after washing, but the consensus is to burn them out good. I can't imagine that a little oil residue is going to out-gas anything worse than charcoal briquets do. Burn it, build it, love it!
Do you mean from condensation and/or steam? How is the water getting in in any quantity that builds up?
If you have a hole in the bottom, I'd say to make sure you have a way to control whether or not it's open during a cook otherwise it'd be an intake.
