I had a New Unlined Drum also. I did Two Burn Outs in it which did Two things It helped season the inside and also took the outside paint and made it easier to Wire Brush off with my Angle Grinder and Cup wire wheel.

I then took and gave it Two coats of 1K deg Primer paint then followed that with Two coats of 900 F Header paint in my color of choice (red).

Everything Looked Great until I found out Packing Blankets and Bungee cords Melt!!!!!! It still looks good but will get touched up this Spring!!

Good Luck and Good Cookin

Dusty

Yes. Go back to the Qtalk thread index. Right on the first page. Look for the thread that says Ugly Drum Smoker. It'll be hard to miss, it got close to 3 million hits and its 700 pages long.

I just get nervous that this paint would come off and make a mess. The guy at the drum shop said the paint won't last but I'm not sure he has a good grip on low 250 degree cooking.

Those are some good lookin' drums. Any info on the drum shop where you bought them?
