Sandblasting OK?
Just got a barrel today and it has a lining. I live in a neighborhood where a full-blown burn would be frowned upon. Has anyone tried sandblasting or chemical stripping to get down to the bare metal?
Thanks in advance |

BTW, it's gonna take me a while to get from page 1 to 668 but it should be fun getting there from what I've read so far!

Many have done the sandblasting and said it was well worth the

I'm slowly collecting materials to build my UDS and the drum I lucked into has that dreaded red lining. I'm just not going to mess with it and get it sandblasted, inside and out. Catch someone at a chrome and body shop on the right day and they might just do it for $30 or $40 and a rack of ribs! Kidding aside, I've read the big hassle with the burnout is the cleanup, and a lot of times requires repetition to get rid of that liner. |

Ok,
I'm a newbie to the UDS, but am determined to build one. I have a old weber 22.5 kettle that is rusted at the bottom. Plan on making a UDS with as much left over parts from the kettle as possible. Found a drum company that has: "Item: DCS55OH “New” 55-g open-head steel drum / Removable lid / Black w/white top Price: $56.75 each" His website says it is 12gauge and 22.5 diameter. Raw steel interior Is this a reasonable price? Would my kettle top fit directly on the top or would I have to modify? Thank in advance with any help!!! |

You can use a weed burner from the outside and it will remove the inside liner. I did it in a neighborhood with no issues.

I did that, and its sooo not worth the propane I would almost rather suit up and dawn the respirator, doubled up hearing protection and dive in with a grinder and wire wheel. I just have an aversion to doing it is all.

Some questions:
I have made my UDS with 2 grates, I was wondering since I have 2 RC thermometers should I use them for both grates?, what distance from the grates should they be installed?, where should they be; above or under the grates?. Oh, one more thing, is a smoke stack necessary?. Thanks in advance. |

Didn't have much luck searching the thread so...
Anyone in the KC area know where I can get a drum sandblasted? |
