Don't zoom in the welding, please! I don't have gas for my MIG yet, so I had to use cored wire- yuck! At least the basket doesn't show (except here). I'm a toolmaker by trade, and we only like to make things once, and build them to last. I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and reading great stuff here from The Brethren.
True, I only have three holes, but they're 1-1/4", which is bigger than normal. I have an idea cooking for the throttle, and now I have to figure out a clean way to block the other two. The fire started out at 425, and I think I could have kept that up with a full shot of coal. I only used a chimney-full- the basket was about 1/3 of capacity. With the price of the drum and the lid, plus all of the bling and a couple Weber grates, I'll probably have close to $200 in it- kind of spendy for a home made, but it should last forever.

$200 bucks doesn't seem bad at all. Go to the BDS page and check out the price for the stainless model.

Not trying to hijack Mush's thread but I got mine for $5.00.
I guess we were both just lucky and in the right place at the right time. Mine came from a garage sale. I did a little better in the final price at only $135. I was curious on whether Arcticproducts was getting any business from my initial order and my subsiquent passing along the info to you all. Here is their response: Thanks so much for the picture! We have gotten a few inquiries lately about our lid. THANKS!! Enjoy your BBQ!

Said I would send a pic of its use. Well here it is: See attachement. Paul Brannan P.S. Have you gotten any orders from other bbq'ers???? Just curious, because a bunch of them have asked where I got mine. Good looking build Mush..... Paul B |

Nice! They should give you one for half price for "drumming" up business.

Paul's incredible drum is the inspiration for my build. I'll have to send Arctic a pic of mine too. I just hope it doesn't go to their head and they jack up the price on us! Stay tuned over the next couple weeks- I have some more custom touches in mind....

Very nice build with some creative ideas!
Wish I had some of the skills you guys have - I'll have to take a welding class one of these days. |

Nice build Mush.
Paul B - I really like the sliding door lower vent. It reminds me of my egg.
