    Looking good Smokey! Quite jealous of your build, a lot fancier than mine. Now we will just need pictures of the smokey deliciousness that you get out of it.

    I highly recommend stopping at Q39 in Kansas City, amazing BBQ.  The owner has been doing BBQ competitions for 20+ years and finally opened a restaurant a year or two ago.  I suggest getting reservations or showing up early as this place is always packed.... every day.

    Pit Barrel Cooker Question

    I wouldn't think you would need to then. However, from what I understand all barrels come with a rust inhibitor on the inside even if they state they don't have a liner.
