55 gallon 304 stainless DRUM for $150 in Dallas

The same guy is still selling (allegedly) used 304 stainless steel drums for only $150 each.

You guys helped me before with the idea of using a grinder to take off the permanent lid. But I have a question. Wouldn't I just want to keep it on, invert it, cut out the bottom of the drum and have a stainless steel drum that a weber 22.5 kettle lid would fit perfectly on without further modifications?

I am already thinking about a 22.5 uds now lol.

Only reason i say it would be cheaper is that there have been 3 in the past month for less than 300 here in dallas.

Thing is I am a penny pincher and I know the wsm 18.5 isn't airtight cause of the door, and it'd be hard to snuff out the fire compared to the UDS. The UDS saves every bit of fuel possible for me I use lump charcoal not kingsford. I really don't care for my hasty bake because it isn't airtight either.
