I have a blue 55gal plastic drum bottom, cut off the bottom 3rd. Put about 3 inches of water in, add some simple green, place teh grrill and other greasy items in then soak overnight; wash off in the morning. Dry it off reall good and hang in the garage till next cook.

CAUTION .. keep open pails of water away from small kids.

Thanks again for the firebox idea .. as you can see I plagiarized your build. Was able to load with bag of briquettes .. got a 13hr cook out of it with ease. Held 230* nicely .. after about 8hrs I started loosing temp .. kicked the drum to loose up the ash and back to normal temps.

That would probably work to plow away excessive ash, but with my design (using the diffuser plate between the bottom of the barrel and the firebox), there is no ash in or around the "butterfly valve."

Im thinking of this as a means to do away with the ash pan or any cleaning what so ever. So what if the bottom rots out after a few years. Im thinking as long as it is used frequently and kept dry it probably wont be an issue for a long time. I wonder how long it would last?

The outperformer ended up working great. Wish I had a Weber I could experiment with for a quick easy build.

To be honest, Ive had this idea way back in my brain for a couple of weeks.. NORCO.. you are the brain to pick.. The paddles could be 1/8" x 3" angle that would have to be closed on the ends for air control. Im also thinking about some uprights to attatch the charcoal basket to (shaker mod) that would be attatched to the valve assembly?
Im also thinking some kind of cheap bearing or brass bushing so it dont seize up like some of the weber one touches Ive been snagging lately (although the Weber replacement kit is only $10)
Sooner or later... when I get a "Round two-it", I will just say FARKIT and built one. But for now, Id appreciate any thoughts or feedback anyone has so Im headed in the right direction when I do get inspired.

Trouble with a clased head drum is that the metal is kinda thin. It deforms pretty easy. Marks drum was Stainless and I would bet is thicker. Those numbers you see on the side are a type of DOT code18/20/20/12 (top/body/bottom/ring) These actually tell what specs. UN1A2/Y425/S; UN1A2/Y1.2/100
