I am interested in making a UDS and was wondering how well a 30 gallon drum functions as one. I can buy an unlined new 30 gallon drum for $65 locally; they cost a bit more because they aren't as common.
I don't quite need the volume of a 55 gallon drum and I could save a lot of money in lump charcoal consumption (I'm a thrifty kinda gal.)
I am assuming the inner diameter would accommodate the 18.5" Weber grills, and that it would basically be the size (height) of a 18.5 WSM?
I just need one big enough to do a spatchcock 12 lb turkey for example.. or full rack of ribs (like up to 4 racks).
If it will save me a lot of charcoal, it'd be worth it I think.
Advice will be very much appreciated--thanks.
