Took the plunge today...
I ordered a brand new 85 gallon barrel from Grainger. Unlined open top 1.5mm thick all around. Gonna order the weber 26" cooking areas and start looking at plans to build a fire basket. Hopefully will have this guy done in a couple weeks for its first run before summer starts. I heard some people lining the bottom with concrete so it doesn't rust through or burn out - is that a good idea? I'm going to put this guy on casters so I don't really care how heavy it'll get. Cheers! MH |

What type of gasket did you use and where did you find it? I've been starting to look for a silicon gasket but haven't been able to find anything yet. |

recession? must not be!
Here is what I scored on the way to the dump today. Everything works too. Now I need to decide if I'm going to use it as is or pull the Weber out and add my UDS to the frame....Suggestions?
The guy was going to put it in the scrap steel until I gave him $20 to let me take it home. Even had new grates?

I have a question about how much you need to burn your barrel. I have attached a picture to show the inside of my barrel. Do I need to get all of the orange out? It feels rough like maybe its the bare metal but I want to make sure.

Twins!
inraged2002,
I'm definately no expert, but I was able to get more of the orange out with a good hot burn, a wire wheel on an angle grinder, and then a disk on an angle grinder (only needed for the bottom). Here are pictures of my build: Food grade barrel. Had corn syrup in it. Tan food liner. Burning 'em out! Got most of the liner out. Used wire wheel on an angle grinder on the sides and was able to get it off. Painted with high temp grill paint. Used an angle grinder with a disc on the bottom. Rack levels. Install. Charcoal racks wired up. Weleded. Heat cycle. Maiden voyage. Didn't get a pic in time, this is about half eaten. LOL! Thanks for a great forum! -Kyle |

Wow looks good. Unfortunately I don't have an angle grinder. I bought a wire brush for my drill but that really doesn't work that well. Do you have to remove the orange. i'm not sure what color the liner was as my dad burnt it out for me.

So, I finished it up, painted the outside and have been using it for about 2 years. Have never smelled, tasted or had any odd side effects from any food cooked on it. After my first season burn, the whole inside of the barrel is covered in black. It wont rust as long as I don't wash it out. I used pam to season it with. The outside of the barrel when cooking up to 300 degrees is hot to the touch, but not hot enough to cause any burns. Don't think any liner left will get hot enough to produce any undesirable fumes.

I think I gave less than 20 bucks for the angle grinder at Harbor Freight.

need info on gaskets/silicone
Good day Brethren. I am making a uds using the bottom half of a cheap kettle as the dome lid. Had to fashion a ring for it to rest on as it was way smaller then the open drum.
I hear people mention gaskets and silicone in use for sealing such cracks or voids and am just wondering if brethren could post pics of the actual product or products they used. The only hi heat silicone i can find is automotive. is this the stuff i want or is their another variety. any advice or suggestions appreciated thanks |

The Buckhorn Bar n Grill
Hello everyone, I'm Bailey from Whistler, BC, Canada.
I have just finished building my 'Drum Kit' and have started modifying my backyard into the Buckhorn Bar 'n Grill. I have made 2 UDS and one open top party grill. Heres what the kit looks like. I started with these brand new barrels I had special ordered. I got 2 with removable lids and thicker gauge steel. The solid barrel is what I used for the grill. Heres the first one I finished. I cut it in half to access the coals better. I definitely noticed some slight temperature fluctuations when I first used it. I now use aluminum foil tape to seal it off. Heres the bottom half with the coal basket loaded up. Theres a couple more chunks of wood buried in there somewhere. ...and the Top. You can see the heat diffuser on the coal basket. For the lid I welded on the hook and handles and it definitely warped it a bit. I kept the locking rings and that helps keep it closed and from people opening the damn thing when I'm not looking! Heres the party grill. I made the lid completely removable so friends can gather around the grill. Makes for a good party atmosphere. Here we have some chicken thighs resting. ...and the chefs perspective.. Got a pork butt roasting up in one of the UDS. The BHBnG in full effect! Heres the pork butt... Cooked it for 10 hours. Started the fire at 8 am and it was holding at 250 when I went to bed at 1am! Pork ended up really good, enjoyed it in some sangies with some home made sauce and slaw. Turned out perfectly as far as I like it. This is my third summer that I have been spending all my free time smoking meat products and making barbeces. Here is a pic of the first one I made 2 years ago. I had never heard of the UDS and came up with the design myself. It did a decent job and taught me a lot about cooking meat. It had a few things about it that made it very inefficient compared to the UDS! In august myself and 2 friends will be entering the Canadian National BBQ Champs here in Whistler for the third time! I am really excited to enter with my new UDS and give it our best! Thank you to everyone in this post and on the forum! I have learned so much and cant wait to give a brisket a go here on the weekend. |

If you use a 85 gallon drum do you need to make a bigger fire basket?
