you could just burn it out again...
Ash pan, is it necessary?
I have a shop vac and coud just suck it out. And maybe a power wash every so often.
Got my Drum!
Check out my lid clips. They are the giat office binder clips for temporary purpose, Still need to decide a final solution for that. I also added a couple of shelf supports for a future project. I'm planning on doing another barrel and connecting them with a shelf that's big enough for at least a full size pan. Probably build a cart/wagon for them for easy moving, hopefully, that will come in the spring.
All in all, I'm happy with it. I'll be glad to find out how it cooks.
Open to any and all feed back. Want to thank everyone on here for the great info and step by step pictures/instructions.
Quick question:
finishing my UDS (pictures coming soon). Anyway, I had a reconditioned drum that had been previously bead blasted, so I drilled all the holes and welded in the 3/4 nipples. After that, I burned out the inside using an oxy acetylene torch, raising the temp on the barrel to + 500 f. once that was done I washed it with a steam cleaner.
Now for the question; My drum has rusted on the inside before I've had the chance to season it. Do I have to sand out all the rust again? or can I season it and not worry about it?
Thanks,
ps. Love this forum!
