Don't look for paint in the BBQ section or at the fireplace shop. All they will have is flat black. Advance, NAPA, AutoZone, Carquest, O'Reilly or some other auto parts store.

Not Willie. Bellamy Brothers...
He keeps a little garden in the back yard by the fence; He's consuming what's he's growing nowdays in self-defense... He gets out there in the twilight zone sometimes when it just don't make no sense... Great song! Awesome and under appreciated song writers... |

Got a new lined drum open top with lid. Looks like its lined with a yellow paint or epoxy. Bought a cheap weed burner and going to see how many of my neighbors dont like me this weekend when I burn it out. Spent $20 on Stainless machine screws and nuts at Lumber yard. I put a grill 2 1/2 " off bottom to sit my future ash basket on. Is this going to be high enough to get enough air? Cooking grate will be 8" from top as per Nords "Trailer Treasure" thread. Great job Nord making it easier for us newbies. Also I have access to Aluminum pipe and fittings for railing. I am fabricating intake and exhaust stack out of aluminium. Any problems using aluminium? I didnt think so since relatively low temps..

Old Hippie, just to give you another option, I took the top third off another Drum, cutting it at the apex of the reinforcement rib with a jig saw and set that upon my Drumpit to increase the cooking height capacity and allowing me to still use the flat lid. I took a locking ring and stove gasket to make the connection air tight between the two. I think you could make your own lid using this technique, but instead of using the locking ring to meld the two together, you could take a rubber mallet, persuading the two pieces to fit tighter.

If you make the lid out of the top third of a drum, make the cut below the highest point of the rib. Then pound out the lip and you have a nice tight fitting lid. The widest part of the rib will be what actually sits on the lip of the drum, and you will have a nice lip that extends down past the roll of the drum top. The first one I made, I cut just at the widest part of the rib and it doesn't have anough of a lip to sit right, it is easily bumped off and hard sometimes to get on good. With the longer lip it is much more stable.
Takes a little practice and you need to make the lid for the drum you are going to use the lid on. I made one at the shop and it fit that drum great but it wouldn't work on the drum at home. had to open it out some more.

I use a piece of rebar under the indention above the rib and a crowned hammer to pound it out. The lip chewed up my rubber mallet. I will try to make a short video tomorrow.

Never thought of it.....two lids are better than one. Guess it seals tighter.

Not sure what to do. I may wind up cutting the top lip off the Weber grill itself, and tacking that to the barrel, then sealing it up. What you think, guys?

Here's a way to fix the lip so it fits without excessive leaks. Make a series of 1/4" cuts around the top of the drum after youve removed the lip. Then slightly bend each tab in all the way around till it fits snug. I've done it and it works. Here's what I used but even just a hacksaw will work.

Thanks. I might not have stated the measurements clearly. Outside of drum lip = 23. Inside of drum lip = 22 1/4. Lid = 22 1/2.
