Are there any alternatives? It doesn't have to be a weber I guess.

I may have lucked out on a lid! A guy on my softball team and both halves of a Weber kettle he said I could have. He's not sure which size, so all fingers will be crossed.

Hello all! I received my reconditioned drum today and have a question. There is some sort of coating on the inside, I assume it is something to prevent rust, do I have to do a full burn to remove it or can I just hit it with the weed burner? Or can I just take it to the car wash and spray it out? Thanks in advance.

Dude that's awesome. I was actually debating trying to do that to mine, but I ended up just going with black seeing as I couldn't find various bbq paint colors. Looks great.

If there's interest in them, I can run do them from time to time. 24 hours cure per casting. I use casting materials fairly often so I had the materials here to do it with and I was looking for a way to prevent air from going through the hole. A few photos below. |

Drum clean up question
I've got my drum and will hopefully have all my parts early next week (waiting on a lid). So now I have some questions on clean up of the drum.
My drum housed anti-freeze. The drum is unlined and VERY clean!!! There is a small spot of rust-like residue in the bottom of the barrel (you can wipe it clean with a wet rag) and the outside is still very nicely painted and dent free. My plan is to wash out the drum with some simple green a couple of times, then drill all my holes before using a weed burner to remove the paint from the outside. Does anyone see anything wrong with this method? I've bought some high heat paint. What about primer? I've seen it done both ways. I never looked for high heat primer though. Does such a thing exist?
