Funnel and a mallet.
Actually, if you see those marks on the drum, that is where the tool used to remove the drum head top. See the middle picture where he shows how the grate support bolts are installed and you can see he removed the top. The bung hole tip would be handy though, if you are building a flat top UDS, and you would still be cutting off the top.

So, do I assume if using a donor dome type lid, I need to start with a closed end drum? And if using the drum lid, I need to start with an open end drum? Sorry for my thick headedness.

I'll ask again:

If you are starting with a open end drum, you can go either way.
If you want to use the lid that comes with the drum, it is easier to get an open top with the lid. if you get a closed top drum and want to use the lid, you will need to cut off the top below the bead, reinforce the cut drum edge, refit the lid, swell the drum edge below the bead etc...it won't be worth it.

I guess I'm just not getting this through my thick skull. Let me try this again: If I get an open end drum, I can use the drum lid that comes with the drum (with the bung holes) OR use a Weber, Kingsford (Masterbuilt) or Uniflame dome lid? Correct?

"If it's"? What's that suppose to mean? I never bought a drum before so I have no clue what size the end of a closed or open end drum is. Why do you think I'm asking these questions for? My health?
Just forget it. To many smart ass's in here. I'll take my questions elsewhere!

Measure a farkin' drum, or better yet, read a farkin' thread, and you would realize that most 55 gal. drums are accomodating 22.5" equipment. SHEESH!!
