I wouldn't bother. It will be fine with the paint that's on it. I would wash the inside with hot water and dish soap before putting the Pam/oil/Crisco on for seasoning. |

Yeah; what N8man said. It's at least possible that the contents were some form of isocyanurate. The cyan stands for cyanide. At least stay clear of the fumes while you're burning it out.

Need some opinions
I'm new here and trying to build my first UDS. I was given a used drum with no lid. The drum used to have used motor oil in it at one time. The drum has been cleaned out, but I still need to burn it out. Would you be comfortable using this drum if was burned out really well and cleaned?
I'm having a tough time finding some where to find a food grade drum, even though I live in a large metro area. Thanks for any replies. Smoke-eater |

If the inside rusts, it's proof of nothing but pure plain steel; thus safe.

so I have read this entire thing and I have a question that may or may not have been covered.
There seems to be some difference of opinion on what to use as far as lump vs. briquettes. Can you use lump and get a long burn? Or is a mixture better? What about flavor of the meat from igniting the non lump? My charcoal basket is 16" in diameter and 8.5" tall. |

I'm still a green horn and still learning on my UDS so I can only speak from my experience over the last few weeks. I have tried mixing lump and Kingsford briquettes and I have used briquettes only.
The mix lights faster, seems to burn a little hotter but also had me tinkering with the ball valve more to handle temperature fluctuations. Take off the lid and she really gets going and is hard to get the temperature back down. Plain charcoal on the other hand is a little tougher to light but burns longer and steadier, seems to hold the set temperature better for me. This is what I use for all my cooks now. As far as taste, hell everything seems to be good off the UDS if cooked right. I have also found that if I need to do much work under the lid, wrap in foil or turn meat, that if I take lift the grate out with the meat and put the lid back on to keep air from getting to my fire, do what I have to do, then put the meat back in, it keeps flare ups or heat spikes down to a minimum. In other words, keep the lid on as much as possible. Just my 2¢ worth. Hope it helps. David |

Thanks for that info. So you have noticed no odd taste from the briquettes? What type are you using? |
