I can't find a food grade barrel, but can get a couple free barrels from a local garage that had new motor oil in them - If I clean and burn them out, would they be safe to use? I think I read somewhere in this thread that metal doesn't absorb liquids

you're welcome///
I googled "steel drum scranton" after seeing NE PA in your profile. A new open top 23"x36" drumm will cost $40-50ish. Well worth it to not worry about chemicals PLUS all the labor saved in cleaning, burn out, paint, etc.... |

I was going to go with ball valves but laziness and not having a welder got in my way. I drilled a single 1-3/8" hole and use magnets to regulate the temp, works great.

Yeah; a good scrub with hot soapy water followed by a good burn should do the job.

I was wondering if anyone has mods for their UDS to grill with it too.
I'm looking at making one but I'm interested in grilling with it too. is that possible? |

You could add a set of bolts/grate supports at correct height and place coals on that and grill on upper rack. I have a project in the works that is going to be the all around Redneck Backyard Cooker. Stand By!

So four 1.5" pieces of angle welded to the side in a v. rebar across the barrel, sitting in the v and then the basket on top, sitting on the rebar. When you aren't grilling you can just set the basket on the bottom of the barrel, though it may not be enough clearance.....

Look for reconditioned drums if you can. They should be cheaper and are just as clean minus a final washing to rinse them out.

OK 3 days after finding this thread, I read it all. Got a drum in the backyard soon to be a UDS.
I may attempt to add a means of supporting the basket at grilling height like Chinesebob and Norco just mentioned. Thanks guys for the great read. |

This may be in the thread somewhere, but the 22" cheapo replacement grills at Academy are too small. Need to use the true Weber replacements or put in several more supports.
