I spoke to Mr. Parker the man who sells the smoker and he reassured me that the liner was burnt out. I will double check again and post a pic. (I need to learn how t post pics on this site first) Has anyone here bought or has seen a smoker from White Arc Smokers?
On Ebay where he sells some of his drums it states: "...Our smokers start life as a food grade barrel containing a corn syrup. We then burn it at a high temperature for several hours to clean everything out.... ...The smoker then undergoes two coats of black high-temp paint. The smoker is ready to cook as soon as you get your hands on it...." I checked it out again when I got home but to be honest what the hell do I know if there is a liner. Although I will say this, when I was smearing Crisco all over it, the bottom of the lip that folds in wasn't smooth as if a protective coating. But like I said what the hell do I know. After my convo with Clint, reading the description on ebay and I emailed some buyers for their opinion I am confident that I do not need to worry too much. Perhaps I will do another burn when I have the time using a dozen or two logs I have for the fireplace just to be safe. Last edited by gaspipe1; 06-13-2011 at 08:04 PM.. |

That sure looks like it has a liner in it! I would link to that photo but it's not working properly.

I am not trying to beat you up on your purchase. I just want you to be aware of the potential issues since you did pay someone else for this product. Sure, you may use this for the rest of your life with no issues at all. Hell, there were plenty of happy Pinto, Explorer, Toyota drivers around the country that never had issues at all. Unfortunately there were a few that paid a horrible price.

OK guys, I'm not here to argue with you. I was just wishful thinking I guess. So, I now have to burn her out... So just to make sure.. I'm thinking 20 or so logs with a burn time of 8 hours? Remove vent caps, ball valve, thermometer.. do i need to remove the bolts that hold the grates, what about the firebox? Do I need to grind her out too with an angle grinder (please say no).
Thanks again for looking after me and my family.... I'm soo pissed off right now with this guy. |

Well, keep a couple things in mind. First, a big hot burn is most likely going to ruin the nice paint on the outside. Second, a good burn usually helps in removing the liner but usually you still need to get some of it out with a wire wheel which is a chore. In all you are setting yourself up for a bit of work.
Here is a link to some other threads that deal with liners. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/se...archid=1527482 Also, a simple, neat, and quick solution would be to have it sand blasted. People have found places that will do a drum anywhere from $20 to $50. This might be your best bet.

you know the more i look at those pics... that just looks like surface rust after its been sitting for awhile bare. Look at the color its not uniform at all even under the crisco you can tell that. He also said its not smooth, I dont know about your guys experience but the liner in mine was very smooth

GrumpyT, I spoke with another guy that bought a UDS from him and he said I assure you there was a liner. He burned it out then sanded it down, and then had to re-paint it. This sux and to be honest I'm pissed. If I had the time to do all that I would have just drilled the dam holes and made my own. I mean at this point I am doing the tough part. I'll post some more pics b4 I go and do it.

See if you can find a barrel without a liner. Then you can use all the parts to construct it. Still sucks big time to pay for an item that is not what is advertised

I still say check for someone local that can sand blast it. For $50 or less you will be good to go quickly and painlessly. The only prep you have to do is to remove the bolts.

I do see it now that i look closer at the pic with the tape measure you can see some grind marks through the liner near the top rim... well at least its not the red liner... Definitely check out getting it blasted, if it is reasonable save yourself the headache (literally)

Agree, that is a liner. i just picked up 4 food grade barrels that held cranberry juice concentrate and it had the liner. At first i thought, hmmm no liner thinking it would be plastic or something and that the inside was painted/powder coated red. then i read what colonel00 posted about it being a polymer,etc and saw pix online somewhere and realized i have the liner. My son in law sand blasted them out for me at the body shop he works at, cost me $55 for the material. well worth it, and it may save your having to repaint the outside if you go the burn it out way. Just my 2 cents. best of luck.

Update... Spoke to Mr. Parker, he told me that he would give me my money back. To be honest I felt too bad to do that to him. So I asked if he could just send me a new drum with lid that is totally burned out to bare metal. He said fine. I hope to God that he totally burns this out properly. Said he will have it shipped on Monday. I told him I will try and sell the other drum and paypal him the money for it.
Hope Mr. Parker doesn't take a dump in my new drum |

Hi
I am expecting a UDS from the same company today. I’m hoping mine doesn’t have a liner still intact. But if they do I’ll be in same boat. I saw on the monster UDS thread that some folks have had success with using Easy Off. But if that doesn’t work what kind of business would do sand blasting? |
