From what I can tell, the linings used in drums to make them "food safe" for storage purposes are either epoxy-phenolic blend linings or straight phenolic linings.

I didn't think they would put food in an unlined barrel unless it was stainless. I guess olive oil would be fine though since it wouldn't let the steel rust like other foods with water in them would.
Burning this drum out is a pain in the a$$. I got it cherry red and the inside is still orange like the liner. There isn't any smoke from the inside anymore because the liner seems to have burned as much as it can. I tried to use a wire wheel on a drill but it is taking a long time to get through to bare metal. I would venture to guess it's fine now but I'm not sure if I want to let it go. Grrr!!! |

I have gotten a couple of drums that had oil for bread mold release agent. They were unlined. I cut the top off one that Hook Line and Sinker brought over. it had Bourbon or drinking alcohol in it.

Here's a sure-fire way to know if you're down to bare metal. Get it wet and see if it rusts. This should take no longer than a day or 2.

I had the same thing happen with my burnout. The drum got red hot and the outside paint came right off, but that liner just smoked a bit and changed colors. I got it all off with a grinder using a 4 inch knotted wire wheel. Took a couple of sessions and I looked like a coal miner afterward, but it's all shiny bare steel now.
I would be surprised if you could get it off easily with a wire wheel on a drill. That liner is tough. |

I had the same thing happen when I burned mine. I gave up and purchased a new one figured my time was valuable.
Next topic, finally found a weber kettle on Craigs list. Did I miss something in all these posts? Does the rim of the barrel have to come off? I've tried bending the lid out and I don't think its going to seal worth a crap? I like the flat top look and have considered trying to weld 1/3 of a barrel to the top, but this "appeared" to be an easier and more cost effective solution. |

Mine leaks a bit but I figure if I put it on the same each time then I get the sam amount of leak (which isn't a whole lot). It took me three or four sessions of bending the rim of the Weber lid to get where I'm at now so don't get discouraged just keep bendingand hammering..make the farker fit!! I'm considering some kind of stove seal or something too which I think some have done.

You might find it more practical to cut off the top 2 to 3 inches of the kettle body and stick that into the top of your drum. Or cut off the lip of the drum. Or perhaps even add to the lip of the drum. It all depends on your measurements.
The key is to measure things first and see what the best option is based on your particular measurements. Conversely, f-it all and just go with the original drum lid for the classical flat-top approach

My lid does not seal.
The lid simply sits on the lip of the barrel. The lid is adjusted pretty well to sit on it all the way around, without any real gaps. I personally do not find it a problem, and the reason I say this is because I can shut all of the vents off, top and bottom, and the fire goes out. That means I can dial in any low temp I want, all the way to cold. JMHO, but I think everyone puts too much emphasis on sealing the kettle lids. YMMV of course.
