I don't think I would use a drum that had contained motor oil.
I would search more for a drum that held food grade product or buy a new one. It is just not worth the chance, IMHO.

An easy way to find the right drum
Go to a scrap metal yard. They may or may not have a suitable drum-probably won't.
BUT-the guys there know where EVERY pile of used drums in your town is and what was in them and who put them there. Worked for me!

I did my first cook, an over night at that and I was estatic. 18 hours and it was still holding steady at 225. I would have kept going but I ran out of meat to cook. All day I kept telling my wife "Did I mention how much I like my new BBQ?" or "Did I mention how well my UDS worked?". She just rolls her eyes.

I'm just finished burnin my drum and had another question for the pros. Before I sand/grind out the inside do I rinse out the black, scorched stuff first, then grind away? After grinding do ya rinse or just start seasoning it with crisco?

Personal preference. Like BLING?
A $20 dollar barrel is just as good.

Unless you cut the bottom out like I did why do you need an ash pan? It will be a pain to get out without spilling ashes along the sides. On the intake nipples I don't think it matters much, I just made sure that the conduit nut had a couple of turns to tighten down. I know some set the charcoal basket on the intakes, but I did not. Love to see the build after your done.
