I agree. Just drill two small holes for the probes.

Shame on me!
That tel-tru doesn´t appeared on my amazon!!
I´ve filtered international sellers and i forgot!
Shippings from uk are now a robbery since brexit.


I like the Maverick, but surely I forgot it outdoors for months!

I´m now reading a thread about this:

Thanks!

Inkbirds are great. I have one for some years.

Howdy!
Reading [I]entire[I] thread, I think I’m somewhere in 2009…..
Ok, really dumb question (I don’t think anybodys asked): rather than burn, why not use epoxy stripper? Then the wire brush, scotch brite, car wash thing, etc.
Live in city and already on FDs $hit list.
Seem to remember a post about using a citrus stripper but don’t think it got any traction.

Maybe it was tried- you are only up to 2009 after all :grin:
You might get a few more years and realize everything that could be tried, had been tried.

TBH- I think a lot of it it had to be a matter of what kind of liner you had to remove. Some methods worked better than others - some did not work at all. In either circumstance, it seems that a good burn out was suggested to burn out 1)whatever was missed by the chemical and 2) the nasty azz chemical itself.

my vote: find a drum with NO liner- crack a Miller High Life and enjoy the good times.

Ok, finally I had all bought/made.

This is what I´m ready to do:

Air inputs: 4 x 1in (3 cap + 1 valve)

Smoke output: 6 x 1 inch holes regulable output. (attached img)

2 racks (about 5" from top and 9" from top)

1 diffuser / water pan (about 13" from top 4" to the lower rack)

The charcoal basket is made 30cm diameter (11.8") x 40 cm (15.7") expanded metal.

2 holes for temp probes (I have this: https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/s...d.php?t=297352)


Should it work?
In 2 weeks I´m going to the village to make & test it.

It will work just fine but for me, I would:

Shorten the basket. 12" is more than enough.

I would re-think your output to something with a stack(s) for better flow...

Otherwise, enjoy building and cooking....

I just built a drum smoker with a drum that had a whitish cream colored food grade liner in it. I sprayed it down with the oven cleaner stuff from Sam's and let it sit with the lid on. It scraped right out with a razor blade

Instead of 6 x 1 inch holes regulable output I'd use one 2" with a stack and a lid just for sutdown. You don't want to regulate the outgoing smoke as it might smother the fire and cause black smoke. You want a free flow. 2-3" is enough.

Thank you!

The fire box is made with a precutted expanded metal sheet, I thught it will be ok if it fits inside. I´m waiting to test it to cut it or not.

The output is a diy daisy wheel, like weber, but bigger.
It´s a lot easier to me to make 6 x 1" holes than 1 x 2" or 3"
If it is small, I´ll just open the small or big holes of the lid.


I'll probably end up buying or making something like this:

But i´m not ready now to pay 50 bucks for it (with shipping to Spain)
