Beautiful work! So how do you keep the seal over time?

Thanks! The stain with polyurethane I put on the exterior covers the gaps between the staves. Prior to using, I'll hose down the inside a day prior and give the wood time to absorb some of the water.
I used regular gasket for smoker/grill lids, and it works perfectly. The barrel lid is heavy enough that it keeps smoke from escaping through the seam. I had added latches, but these are apparently more decorative than functional due to the weight of the lid. |

Just an opinion but you might wanna spread those casters out to the edges more. I have several wine barrel “things” I’ve made and had the casters light like that and when trying to move around they were a bit wobbly/unstable there’s quit a bit of weight to just a barrel! Again just an opinion! Looks very nice, nice work!

I was always told fire inside a wooden barrel is not the best idea. You need to spread those casters outward as far as possible.
Can't wait to see it though. Ed
