Hi Guys,
My barrel got here today, my kit from Big Poppa showed up last week, so this weekend is build time. I have a couple of questions.
If any of you have built from Big Poppa's kit, did you make any changes?
I am thinking about skipping the top set of U-bolts that are meant to use for raising the fire basket up for grilling. I have a few other grills that I will be using for grilling.
The height of the lower U-bolts for the fire basket seem rather high at 5.75" above the bottom of the drum, is there a reason to have them that high?
I have a large deep dish pizza pan to use for my ash catcher. I am thinking I need to put a handle on it to make it easier to get out of the drum? Old guys don't bend and stretch so well as we get older.
Poppa includes two sets of bottom vents with 4 - 3/4" holes in each one. Does it really need that much venting?
Thanks for any feedback.
Gary
