thanks for the inspiration
Decided i wanted to make a uds so i went and got my drum. went all will nilly and cut the lid off then decided i wanted a flat lid and didnt want to do all the burning and whire wheeling needed to clean an oil drum so i picked up a food grade drum with lid and band for 25 bucks .. it had pinaple in it... so in the morning i am going to start making mine.. i will take pics but i am giong to skip the mundain stuf like burning it out cleaning and so on.. there are 1000's of pics of that on here....
think i am gonna go with the military theme for mine to pay tribute to all my family members that have served out counrty.... will update later this weekend but now off to watch yukon men.. |

so you had a nice drum with bare metal and you opted to get a food grade drum with an epoxy liner to save time and trouble?

Do you have a lid to fit the first drum, a Weber 22.5" kettle lid perhaps? If so I'd just clean it out real good and proceed from there. Much easier then removing an epoxy liner.
