How do clean out the coals? Just take off the lid, the grill, and the basket and dump? I'm looking for a suitable ash pan to place under the coal basket. But right now I plan to just use the shop vac. Quote:

Size Does Matter!!!
Quote:
1" pipe for air intakes...I used a 1.25" hole saw for drilling 3 evenly spaced holes around the bottom of the drum, centered 1.75" from the bottom, then threaded 1" pipe nipples into the holes and secured with 1" conduit lock nuts on the outside of the drum. nipple.jpg The vertical pipe is 30"s long and keeps an old fat man from rolling on the ground!!!! Sheet magnets are available at Craft and Hobby Stores. As long as they aren't near the heat, they work wonderful! |

That drum smoker is really nice looking, but the pipe nipples just took it to a whole new level for me.

Looks really great. Inspires the rest of us who haven't made one yet to get up off the couch and DO something. I need one of those!

i thought that maybe you only had 1 air intake. I am wondering if on my next drum if i put a 2.5" intake if that would work instead of having multiples.

Are there actually two more 1" air intakes with no pipe running to the top? Does the 30" pipe keeps an old fat man from rolling on the ground only 1/3 of the time? Are the two bottom ones mostly plugged, as shown? Do you use the sheet magnets on the other two also? Sorry to be so dense. |

Many a hole
Quote:
seasoning and cook I only had the vertical open and choked. Held 250 all day and part of the evening..I started at 7:00 am and shut it down last night at 9:30 pm or so...still had charcoal in the basket!!!!! I watched a video in the recent past that was linked here in one of the posts about Snail and his drum smokers, I think he has one air intake..looked like it could be around 2" or so.. I went with the 1" because of the hole saw I had and it's working out well. Before I shut it down last night I opened all intakes wide open and the temp reached 475 degrees!!!!! You should of heard the grease sizzling and popping... By the way I like your versions of the drum smokers also..Inspired me along with others... |
