Did my first cook today .....turned out well. Just the finished product had a hint of a bitter, almost metallic after taste..Anybody got any ideas?...Could it be the drum?...not seasoned properly or something....It was originally burned with pretty hot three hour burns....Then cleaned out with a wire wheel...wiped out...coated with veg. oil and burned for about 8 - 10 hours for seasoning at about 280...All hardware is stainless or black pipe...And the expanded metal is just raw steel.

I may have missed it somewhere, jack, but what was in your drum before clean-out?

I tried to get ahold of them the other day. Same thing. I bit the bullet and bought a new, unlined 30 gallon with removable lid and lever lock clamp band. Picked it up today from McMaster Carr. Some new member from Oceanside I think picked up some drums in LA area for a good price recently.

What kind of fuel did you use? Did you use lump? When I hear bitter I always think of my first smoke days when I'd strictly use wood and burn it too low of temp. |

Those things on your feet. http://www.crocs.com/
You don't have any funny seasonings in your rub that I would recognize as causing a bad taste reaction. From what the others have posted in both the threads it sounds like you have a problem with the amount of smoke. I have never had that problem, so I can't be of help there.

Where are all of you getting your lids? I want to make another UDS and use a grill lid. Are they just lids you already have?

Thankfully a member of the brethren, helped me out and found some used webbers on craiglist in my local neighborhood...I tried doing the craiglist search and came up empty(my lack of computin' skills)...But anyways I had scored one the next day...bought the whole grill for about 25$...

I don't know about he place in Riverside, but I can usually score a few freebies in Newport Beach if you're interested. They are the fixed lid type though.

I purchased my drum from a company that reconditions them....I told them the intended use(for a smoker). and they said it would be alright for that use...After I got it home I started to get a little parinoid about using it. I called them back just to be sure. They asked for the code # on the bill of sale and reassured me that there should have been nothing hazardous in the barrel, but once reconditioned there was no way of knowing...They did explain that in the reconditioning process, the drums are put through a blast furnace which heats to an extreme temperature and cooks it back to bare metal...Then they repaint the outside and put a rust preventative on the inside.....I then burned it twice, hot enough to cook the paint off of most of the outside, for about three hours each time..I had flames a foot or so above the top of the barrel..and then did about a 8 - 10 hour seasoning burn at about 280 - 300* with coal....
I'm hoping It'll be alright???? Any comments??? firecrackerjack |
