I just scored a 55 gallon drum from a local farm implement dealer free and in good shape. It has the top cut out. I was wondering about a 22 1/2 inch weber dome. The drum itself is 22 1/2 round but may have to tweak it a bit in a few places. Where does the lip start on the weber dome at 22 1/2 or is it slightly larger.? Really glad I found this forum. You guys rock!!!!!!

If the drum is truly 22.5" diameter, a weber dome or any knock off dome lid should fit perfectly. My drum was 22 5/8", and the weber lid was super tight.

Perfect that is what I needed to know at one point my measurement is 22 5/8 thats where I might have to tweak it a bit. Thanks for the reply!!

Ok here is what you do, build the smoker and put a butt on with maybe a fatty or two, then work on the honey do list:thumb:
