Doing a burnout on my two drums tomorrow and some last opinions before we go at it. They are unlined/food grade but have the rust inhibitor. Plan is to flip them over and burn off the paint/rust inhibitor from the outside with the weed burner. Wash the inside we a power washer and sand the outside to get ready to paint. Any issue with that regarding the rust inhibitor? If at all possible, I'd like to not climb inside to sand it but want to be safe as well...
Also, if I spray the inside with cooking spray - how long can I wait for my first seasoning burn, depending on weather and how long this takes it may be a week or more unfortunately... |

I used the weed burner on the outside and it burned the rust inhibitor out. I still used a wire cup on the inside as I was using it on the outside anyway. Felt like it was cheap insurance, and it only took another 15 minutes or so.
As far as a seasoning run goes, I wouldn't think it would matter much for just a week or two. But definitely coat the inside when done sanding, it will rust almost immediately. |

Finally got started on my UDS after acquiring all the pieces and parts over the winter. I'm using a Weber lid (with 2" of the top of the kettle for proper fit, a Big Green Egg intake vent door, and 2 racks inside. I used a weed burner to burn off the paint and remove the interior rust inhibitor. Seemed to work great.
All that's left is to sand it down, paint and season, and I'll be ready to roll! Attachment 108736 Attachment 108737 Attachment 108738 |

Drums I got are all flat lids, no bungs. If it persists I am going to take all the intake flanges off and silicone them on the right way....see what happens from there.... |

I have "dual exhaust", they are both 2" pipes, 4 foot long. When I was screwing around with it I only had one exhaust open. Attachment 108764 Can't help but wonder if the length of the exhaust is not creating quite a bit of draft....Going to take the intake flanges off and seal them the correct way and try it again.... |
