Well after reading this thread "twice"! I tackled my first build. Thanks to all for the ideas!
Burning out freebie barrel..
Making firebox out of old grill..
Firebox done..
Decided to trim Weber lid to fit into drum lid..
Lid cut out...
Fitting..and it worked. Brazed it together after grinding porcelin off in a few spots.
Air intake..
Twin racks and test fire..
Test chicken..
A bit of paint and shortened a handcart to bolt to barrel for transportation. Going to raise it 2" to keep off of ground before bolting together.
Ash poker in cart hole..
Sorry if this is to long, but thank again to all your posts for ideas!!
Quiggs of Lake Havasu!!
Does anyone sell the UDS?
I have a total of about 65-70 bucks in mine....and would pay twice that much for the fun of building one and cooking some dang good Q on a cooker that I made on a cooker that "I" made.
Well it sure did take awhile but I got through all 181 pages of this thread. I have two drums at the moment 1 has all the holes drilled, been burned out, wire brushed, and oiled and has 1 coat of black paint on it. Flat top. The second coat should happen on Saturday with an inaugural cook on Sunday or Monday. Thank you to all who have gone before. I will post pics when I put on all the hardware, including the bottle opener. The second drum has had nothing done to it yet. I'm thinking to have it with a Weber top and two grates, removable bottom. But that's up in the air. I posted this today because there has not been a new post for 3 days!!
Dunno if I would monkey with an open bottom again.
Neat theory but still a PIA to empty.
