Started on a new project Saturday. I picked up a drum and dragged that home along with some pallets from work. I started by cutting off the welded top with an air chisel which made quick work of the top. I then used a holesaw to put a 2" intake at the bottom.
While wandering around Lowes yesterday morning I came across a $48 Weber knockoff so I picked that up. I will be using the lid, charcoal grate, and cooking grate from it for my drum.
A buddy swung by in the afternoon and we broke up pallets and started burning it out.
Today I dumped out the ash and washed it with Purple Power degreaser. I also started working on making the Weber knock off lid fit.
Next steps are to build the intake, charcoal basket, install the hardware for the grates, and some paint on the outside. I am hoping to have most of that done by next weekend.
