UDS burnout

[flapjacks]

New guy here, I see some of this post around the forum but I have 1 quick question on a uds build. I bought a new unlined drum, I'm guessing it has mineral oil rust inhibitor but I'm wondering if I need to burn it out or if I can just use this drum?

Thanks all!

Burn it out to get rid of the residue.

New drum or used? If used, do you know for certain what was in it?

Yea you're right. I gotta burn this thing. It's new but prob gotta burn the paint off. I got 2 bungs on my lid- should I use these for exhaust or plug them up?

Use those for your exhausts. If you have the plugs for them put the plugs in to store and also to snuff fire
When done smoking.

Drill your intake hole before your burnout. This will help get the fire going hit enough to burn off the exterior paint.
