Hey folks,
seeing as this is the UDS place, I figured I'd ask yall what you thought of using a drum that used to contain adsorbents (the stuff they use to adsorb spills at wrecks) the steel doesnt have any visible liner on it, and its been sitting around long enough that it has surface rust all over the insides.
I just started a welding class and have been wanting to build a smoker, so naturally, I want to use what ive got. I am thinking of either going with the traditional upright UDS, or using both barrels I have to make a double-barrel horizontal smoker. In fact, I'd kinda rather go with the latter, because it would allow for much more capacity and IMO, easier cleanup, not to mention, alot more welding..
only problem is I dont have lids for either, but I think I could find some scrap sheet metal to weld to the ends.
