i have seen alot of ideas on it but would like anyones input:icon_cool
Leaks around the lid? Is it a flat lid or a weber?
Does the lid sit down inside the lip roll or did you take that off and it just sort of sits precariously on top?
I am thinking you might want to shave some mro metal off and use some high temp rubber around the inside of the drum at the very top. Then make the lid to snugly squeeze down, causing a press type fit....but that is just the machinist/ designer in me.
It just rests on top. I flattened the rim of the lid out to rest on top of the drum.
I got the temp down to 250, then opened one air vent about 1/8 of an inch, and left for 3 hours. when i got back it was at 275.
erfect
I just but some MOINK balls, and some chicken lolly pops on. and going to get a couple fattys on in about 30 mins. so we will see what that does to the temp
I hope it works for you.
So far I have had no trouble with the lid-drum problem,in fact it fits perfect.
I've scored a 2nd hand Weber 22,5" and a 55 gallon drum and the lid goes smoothly over the lip roll.
I have to say that I still didn't do anything with it yet accept cleaned it from the outside and gathered some more data.
Probably 'cause there is so much info spread around here!
Today I made a really good score,I'll post some pics in a lil while.
Some comment from a new guy with no experience at all.
once i got food on it, it stayed around 250-270 the whole time.
it's working like a champ:-D
it isn't a tight fit, but i think it is gonna work
Just made this today at work, It will become a part of my UDS lid handle. Made out of 1/4" thick 6061-T3
