This was last like this but they have table top version. Same 18" base just no folding legs that will get tossed anyway.

I was just getting ready to head to IMS this morning to scrap around for ideas for my basket. Do you mind picking up one of those for me next time you go?

Norcoredneck · 06-07-2008, 10:32 AM

Will do, gonna look at sales ad tomorrow. This is the kinda crap that CVS/ Thrifty/Walgreens sells as a come on.

I just found 1/8" thick 18" rounds at the scrap yard for 2.00 - I'm sure you could do something with those norco.

I've read where others have had problems with Temp Control, having gone Vertical with their Intakes, but I've had no such issues. Consistant Temps, Consistant Results. Perhaps the Ram on top makes a difference!

Local Junkyard (and Daddy's Backyard) is where I get most of my metalscraps. The DrumBuggy is made up of parts from 1 pressure washer deck, 2 push mower wheels w/ axles, and 1 piece of 5" wide, 1/4" thick, channel iron cut into two 6" lengths bolted to each of the rear sides of washer deck for mounting axles and wheels.

You could also use a defunct Push Mower Deck.
Makes moving DrumPit about the Yard really nice

I know I preach about not going for coolness factor, but external Bling is ok.

That's exactly what I use as an ash pan.

How about a pic Bob?

Update on my No weld basket....

Had a problem today with this ECB grate set-up, the thing is so flimsy that with a load of fuel, the legs twisted the grate and collapsed!

(Why always at a comp??)
I would suggest the extra couple of bucks for the heavier Weber grates or something similar!
New Basket tomorrow, will update!

That's what I was worried about. Hmmm... maybe it was a good thing that Mom Nature decided to not let me work on my drums this weekend!! Thanks for the update!

Just curious to know if you guys that are using a single stack from the bung on the drum lids notice a hot spot in that area? I know when I'm using the Weber lid, things cook faster under the vent.
