Sweet Drum fordman!
Love the wheel set up. I've been wrestling with how I wanted to do wheels on mine and that looks great. What did you use for your probe hole? Did you drill out the rivet on the Weber vent then replace? I also used an old Weber lid but didn't drill out the vent so you can still see the red paint in some spots on it. It's Ugly so that's okay...but I'd like to clean it up a bit if possible.

I dont recall anyone using that method but it should work. Plus, you could turbocharge that with something like this thing I made with 2 PC fans:

Here's another atypical approach:

Exactly. As for the other option of putting a butterfly style intake on the bottom of the barrel, that is Plan B. It also makes it simple in that it not only serves as air intake, but a way for the grease to drip out!!! I could put a coffee can or something underneath the unit to catch the drippings. Actually. The more I talk about it, the more I like that idea!

I would be afraid the butterfly type intake on the very bottom mite have a tendency to get clogged and would have to be move every so often to clear its self. I did see someone on another forum that put wsm type intakes on the sides that could work.

Yeah, I was referring to the pic you posted with the square shaped spinner intake on the bottom of the barrel. Sorry for the confusion. Clogging could be a problem...so I guess I am back to laying the thick pipe in the bottom of her!

That might just work!!! Provided it stays warm enough to prevent clogging. Probably only one way to find out. I suppose I could find another way to catch the grease, just trying to make it as simple as I can on this pass.

Clogging has never been a problem for me. The one thing I'd do different is use my "butterfly valve" approach in a removable lid so that the barrel can be lifted off all the internals (a.k.a., what Pat does).

Grease dripping out the "butterfly valve" has never happened either. It would have to leak through the inner barrel and the intake air diffuse plate (the notched thing) below it. It aint gonna happen.

Luckily, I have not built it yet so I can still decide on the approach! I still have to get my drum. Once it's here though then whatever seems best at the time is probably what I'll go with.
