It's hard to mess up a fattie and even if you do you're only out a couple of bucks and you can probably still use it to season beans, stew, or scrambled eggs. Get it right and you're a genius (for a few minutes) |

My first was 2 racks of St Louis cut ribs using the 3-2-1 method ... turned out great.

Just finished every page of this thread. And picked this up this morning for $37. Going to drill tonight and hope to have my first run this weekend while I brew up some Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

Here is a quick question...
Is there a difference functional difference between a round charcoal basket and a square basket? |

Also, I'm having a friend of mine fab my charcoal basket. I was thinking on 14" across and 12" tall. Would that suffice?

My basket is 15 across and about 10 1/2 high ... more than enough.

I started gathering parts over a year ago and never went anywhere with actually building anything. Last week I got the bug up my crawl and put together a 30 gallon drum smoker.
I started with a new drum, had to cut the lip off of the top for the lid to fit. I used paint stripper to remove the factory finish and sanded it with an orbital sander/220 grit paper before painting. Found a Weber grate on clearance at target for 5 bucks and had picked up an 18" OTS on Craig's list a while back for the lid.

Why did you remove the paint from the outside?

It was beat up pretty bad. I used "grill paint" from rustoleum to paint the drum.

Geo has his own reasons but I'll be stripping the paint from my next UDS because the pre-existing paint is likely not high-temperature. On occasion with my current UDS the outside area near the coals gets hot enough to make the paint peel, or worse, burn. The slight acrid smell detracts from the normally wonderful aromas coming from the smoker. :)

Hmmm... I could burn mine off with my Oxy/Act torch. Don't wanna spend money for expensive grill paint, just to have the cheap drum paint underneath peel off. |

My basket is 15"x15"x15" square. The only reason i went with 15" is because that's the only size scrap that was available in our fab shop. Each corner is braced with a piece of 1-1/2" x 1/8" angle iron.
