    Welding blanket for insulation

    Yes, I ran the calcs about 8 times to test how things playe out. Mid 70's for the temps. The wind was set up to blow into the SFB. Did try different orientations due to swirling wind. I am afraid the metal is so thin that I lose it ou  of the SFB and the CC. Thanks

    UDS question on liners

    Thanks for the info. There is no reddish color and if my memory recalls I believe if you have a little surface rust on the inside, which I did, there is no liner.

    Thanks guys I cut the hole today. I put it at pretty much the center of the drum. It will be splitting the cooking rack so I pretty much kind of split the difference. I will post some pics of it once I get some time.

    Opening from SFB to Cooking Chamber

    I just picked up 3-55 gallon drums. I want to make an offset smoker out of them. I am trying to figure out the opening to the C.C. to the SFB.
