So I finally went out to a local container supply company and purchased a brand new unlined 30 gallon drum with lid for $60 today--it's flawless dent-wise except for some scratches on the paint which isn't an issue since I am burning all the paint off. (It comes with a rust inhibitor sprayed on the inside which I am told easily burns off and that the drum is very suitable for a smoker after burning.)
Here is a picture of it:
Right after purchasing this drum I headed over to Harbor Freight and bought a pair of stepped drill bits for $17.99--the diameters of which goes well above 1" if needed.
So I guess I start by drilling out 3 holes and then start a bon fire in it.
If this was your drum how many inches would you drill up for the intake holes, and what diameter should the holes be? 3/4" 1" ?
More questions to come later, thanks!
