    drum questions

    I began my burn out on Friday, Most of the paint came off. But I still have some on there. How important is the outside paint being completely off? Also How do I know know the inside is completely clean? Should I take a wire brush to it or another tool? Thanks for any insight.

    Hmmmm an over night cook. I have never done that. Is my gas GOSM good to go? What type of time line should I look at. 8pm-8am smoke (just approx times) 8-10am cooler. 10am pull apart and foil it 3pm reheat with low temp until I head out to the watering hole at 4?
