Where did you find the 20" ash pan? I haven't seen any larger than 16".
The also have a 20" for a couple bucks more....
I know it already has its own thread but I just had to show it off a little more. Especially after usint it a few times. This thing works great for anything. Ive done butts, brisket, ribs, burgers and dogs/brats. I also have used it for a Crab/crawdad boil. Awesome!!!

I wouldn't worry about the galv. hardware, you'll get cancer from eating all the smoked meat way before the zinc does you inSo here is my first official build post!
This is how it looked yesterday:
This chisel I used ($13)
During the chisel process:
Chiseling can leave a razor sharp and jagged edge (I hammered then ground this down later)
My weber lid seriously fits perfectly:
What I bought at Home Depot last night:
Building my charcoal basket:
So we found a dog tie down that we thought would make a perfect handle but I have a concern about it maybe being toxic? It's magnetic and sparked so it's definitely not aluminum but is there anything else I should worry about?
Starting the burn out, it burned for 2 hours (is that enough?)
A shot of my friends shop:
So I took it back home and coated the entire inside with vegetable oil and am going to season it tomorrow after I paint it (any tips for this?)
I guess I am a little concerned with how safe is it to cook in this? I washed it out with soap really well, burned it out for over two hours then washed it out again and then coated with oil. How should I season it tomorrow?
Thanks!
Just picked up my drum. Thanks for the info. Those are pretty nice drums. Did you burn yours out even though they had been burned out, sand blasted and washed prior to purchase? The inside is bare metal and is clean. I didn't know if a good wash out with soapy water and than hot charcoal run before the first cook would be enough.Consolidated Container Company.
