Gents,
I finished my mock-up today, and I burned in the drum a second. Id like to burn in one final time tomorrow evening with a ton of wood and make ready for paint. More to come.. SDC11146.jpg SDC11150.jpg JV |

One question though...My drum contained new (clean) SAE 40 engine oil. What is the best way to make sure the barrel is safe for cooking? Ive burned and pressure washed, burned and pressure washing tomorrow, and Id like to load up one final time with a giant load of pallet wood.
Does anyone have an opinion on drum seasoning? LOL it seems like everyone in this forum has had some idea about using oil and charcoal. All ideas welcome. THanks for the UDS lesson(s). JV |

Mine was an unused, unlined SS drum which was shiny to start with. I did use some "Never Dull" Polish Wadding to get fingerprints and smudges off.
Chef Jim made this suggestion a few posts up in this thread: "I know of a product that will help you keep it looking like this if you are interested. It's called Ultra Seal and can be found at http://www.polishplus.com I works on motorcycle pipes and I use it on my SS gas grill." I haven't used it, but I have it in mind when I think mine needs it.

Pual B.,
Did you have to modify the SS lid to fit? Because I know that a normal 22.5 weber lid does not fit properly on my SS drum. |

This last pic kinda shows the pounded out lid if you look real close. The nut and bolts are there and angled in to act as a alignment aid to keep the lid on. The furnace gasket was needed to seal the lid to the barrel top. Hope this helps on what I did. Most weber lids have to be fitted in a similar method. Paul B SS UDS SS Auspit SS ROL |
