I got three barrels. The piece that I cut out of the top barrel is the one I am talking about. The third barrel I used to cut out a piece that is 3/4" larger all the way around the opening so that it will seal up nicely.
Does that help?
Well the rain finally cooperated for a little bit up here and I was able to get the top barrel cut open and the lid cut out too.Just in case anyone doubted me...Certified Organic Coconut Oil, and Kosher! One problem i am currently trying to solve is the plastic bung caps you can see in this pic...
I agree, being as we have a bunch of little states jammed up here regional make sense. I'm in Pelham, NH literally 1/2 mile from MA.
Can we start the group ourselves or does a moderator have to create it?
I've been cruising around the forum for awhile now and went looking for a group in my area, but there doesn't seem to be one. I was wondering if there was anyone in the northeast on here? I'm in Southern New Hampshire! Where y'all from?
Yeah, there is a metal scrap yard on my way home from work, maybe I will swing in and check. I just don't think my brisket, butt and ribs need any nylon flavoring! lol
I just recently got 55 gal. barrels for my smoker build, but they had plastic bung caps. Does anyone have steel one that I could have? I need a total of 4 - 2" & 4 - 3/4"Thanks!!
Interesting, I will have to look into it. I got talking to a buddy last night and I guess he has a friend that owns a body shop. I might be able to get in there to sand blast the barrels after I get them all cut up. Then I should be good to go. What Kind of smoker are you making? UDS?
Well, I went to VT last weekend and got the barrels! They look virtually new and I am very happy!I am starting my build thread separately here ---> http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/143631/double-barrel-buildCheers!
Dirtsailor, is that price for just one barrel? I haven't even thought to look into that but it makes a lot of sense! You must have had it powder coated post build right?
DaveOmak, thanks for the reply. I get what your drawing is getting at but that would make my build difficult. I do not want to cut the ends off.This picture is the design I am doing using the Vogelzang barrel stove kit, not an UDS. I wish I had one of those propane weed burners...I bet that...
I've been going back and forth on how to remove the paint. I have an angle grinder that I could put a wire brush on to take it off, or I've also heard about people burning the paint off. What would be the best method?
Well, I had a successful trip to Vermont over the weekend to get my barrels.
I left after work on Friday and drove up to my mothers house in Jericho, VT and spent the weekend doing odd jobs for her and helped get the boat ready for the season. After a disappointing night watching the Bruins...
Hmm, good to know. I guess it makes sense that this unit might be a little ore temperamental. I just did a quick search for grill canopy's and saw a couple neat ideas. Might be something to think about for the over night smokes. Give you rain protection, or dew...and keep your electronics safe.
Not sure the juice bottle would work that great as a heat shield. It might actually have the opposite effect. Just my thought but if you have a heat source it would almost be like radiant heat heating up the space under the bottle with little to no air circulation. I am also interested to hear...
My sister and her husband actually tried the Porter. I guess they had something go wrong so it ended up turning into more of a double bock (Good mistake in my opinion)..It turned out pretty good. Knocked your socks off though, only needed one before I was feeling...much happier!
