I found a lid for my barrell, but it doesn't fit because the top of my barrell is a little off. Does anyone know if I could heat the barrell and then put on the lid? It really doesn't matter because I could use it for a future project.
Hello FWIsmoker
Well my bright idea to use a turkey fryer basket went to getting the bottom burned out. It did last for five smokes. I have expanded metal so I am going to try and make a basket. I like the size of the turkey fryer basket so I am going to model the new one after it.
My question...
Dutch, I am inclined to agree with you, but I don't think the expanded metal holes are much bigger or bigger at all than the holes in the fryer basket. Having said that you have convinced me to make a basket out of expanded metal. I have plenty here at home to use.

The basket is actually a turkey deep fryer basket with holes everywhere. I think I am getting plenty of air to the basket. I just need to get a good lid or put a gasket where the tub meets the barrell on the inside. When I lift the tub I can see where it meets the barrell. I am thinking of...
I will try that. I had read that someone used lamp allthread for their build which I did, but then found out it wasn't large enough. I use it to stick in a Taylor pen remote just to compare to my built in thermometer. So it's not a total waste.

Yes the images look good.
To bad though because I am getting alot of smoke coming out of where the lid goes over the barrell.
I might try and finding where they meet and putting a high heat gasket on the inside of the lid.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Yes, but I read somewhere for galvenizing to get someone sick it had to be subject to at least 800 degrees for it to burn off the zinc. Anyway I have done four smokes with it and I am alive answering questions so I guess it's ok.
Are you sure your in Florida? looks like something we would see in the mountains, but of course we would have to seal it up sometimes here in Baltimore Md. Dumb question/ How much do you think you have in it if you would of had to pay for all of it?
Super job and I am showing the ole lady this...
