I smoked a load of scotch bonnet chillis on my test run for a batch of sauce.
They looked good. I made an awesome sauce the other week from some scotch bonnets. Genuinely cant remember the recipe though.

I just reach in my egg with the heat gun - but have continued to use the burner on my uds. Perhaps I will try your method. I really enjoy lighting with the heat gun.

That's a nice looking drum, no liner.

I got 4 55gallon drums. They were used to store Soybean oil in them. They're 35 inches tall and 23 inches in diameter. HOWEVER, they're all in one piece...meaning that they don't have lids. Recommendations on cutting off the top? Will I be able to use the top I cut off as a lid, or will I need to find a lid off a small charcoal grill to go on it?
Thanks

There is a drum topper that is like a giant can opener, if you can find somebody that has one. Personally I use an air chisel and just carefully cut around the inside edge, comes out nice. Probably someone at an auto shop or body shop could do it for you.

Will you be buying a lid from a kettle grill or using the drum top as the lid?

I dont have the fancy machinery as mentioned above - but I have used a Jigsaw with a cutting bit designed for metal. Like a knife through butter.

Flatten the lip on the kettle lid, strap it to the uds & then take a hammer and slowly work the lip down around the uds. Make sure you have it aligned like you want it, if you plan on using hinges.

Quick question, a friend of mine saw and tested the sweet Q that came off my UDS and wanted me to make one for him. However, he dropped off some material for me to get started and I'm not sure if this expanded steel is big enough. I will be using a weber charcoal grate for the bottom, so this will just be around the sides. Do you think this will get enough air?
