I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the charcoal pan out of a Brinkman Gourmet ECB?

What I made using Single Fins ECB. He loves the set up.

I'm planning on using 2 - 1"x4" black iron pipe nipples with elbows and 30" risers and full port ball valves for the intake air. If it will work I want to put 4 evenly space pieces of 3/8" all thread rod in above the intakes to set the charcoal pan on so the bottom of the pan is just above the intake nipples.
What do you guys think about that plan?
Another ?, has anyone found any hi temp paint that can be mixed in colors? Thinking seriously about a purple and gold LSU can:grin:
My take on this is the more you have inside the harder it is to clean out. The ash and grease build up and has to be scraped from time to time.
If you look at pics of mine that's exactly what I did. I put 3 1" by 4" and just put a nipple on one of them. I thought about the risers but I just set my basket on top of the pipes. Not sure if that has a positive or negative affect.
I wonder if you put a high temp primer and black coat that would be enough. The other option would be to get a auto paint. Might need a sprayer for that.
I don't think the high temp primer idea will work because the barrel will still get to hot for the paint. I'm hoping they may mix some high heat colors to paint exhaust manifolds.
If you find a place that sells templates for School or Pro teams let me know. I'm looking for a couple of teams :icon_smil.
If you don't want to spend a lot, I use one of these HVLP, nice and compact.The guy that reconditions them just uses an average paint in sprayers. Nothing special. I think I'm going to looking for a used paint sprayer in the future.
Excellent! I figured as much. Now it's off to see what the hardware stor has on clearance. This thing could turn out some very silly colour. :wink:Guys, unless you run with the lid off you can use any spray paint. I have posted this somewhere before but this summer we check the temp of a barrel while it was cooking and a black car setting on the car lot, They were just a few degrees apart. The camo barrel I painted was just plain old spray paint. After several cooks the paint was fine.
All I've been able to do is cut the roll off the top so my kettle lid will fit, then it started pouring down rain so I can't do the burn off of the coating inside.
So I got one of the Kettle Grills from Sears and the lid is to small, it sits right on top of the drum. So does "cut the roll off the top" make the outside diameter enough smaller for the Kettle lid to fit over the drum? And if it does, what are the options for how to make a clean cut on the roll?
