If metal is so porous what keeps the racing fuel from just leaking out through the metal?
Or how could steel be used to hold.a.gas with small molecules like hydrogen? |
Got so much info from this thread when I built my drum. :clap2: Decided to built a cut off vent for it.
Upright Drum Smoker Vent System - YouTube |

And I never said that metal is "so porous" it is somewhat, but go head and use it I do not care. I was just answering his ? :rockon: |
alright, im moving forward with my uds build. im going to pick up a $10 race fuel drum friday (i was worried about the fuel tank but thought about how many large offset smokers are made from old lp tanks). i have a salvaged old smokey grill (extra large) for grates and lid. im gonna build my charcoal basket out of my "repurposed" shopping cart (worried about being galvanized but checked areas where paint was chipped away and much to my delight i noticed surface rust which means not galvanized correct?!?) so its looking like i will have sweet blue billowing out of this thing while only spending like $30 unless something goes seriously wrong. wish me luck!

I picked up my drum today to begin my UDS build. I am in the process of rinsing out with dish soap and water before i begin the beheading process. I also stopped by home depot and picked up my pipe nipples and caps. I still need to get to harbor freight to pick up my one inch ball valve (considerably cheaper than home depot especially with the 20% off and free multimeter. My Old Smokey lid fit pretty good, does need a little fine tuning but not bad for now. This is going to be a fun build.
