Oil Drum Barbeque

I made this barbecue around about January this year (2017) and a few of the files went AWOL along the way so my motivation to get the clip completed kind of went out the window, along with selling our house, buying another and moving in the meantime. Anyway it has been a long time since I posted anything so I figured I would just smash together what I have and here is the result. If I were to build it again (which I may well do as I have sold this one on) I would go about it quite differently, but that is a story for another day! anyways, I hope you enjoy.

Anyone wanting to build one - only one quarter of the barrel needs to be cut for the pit-door, and still gives you room to add all your braces.I made a hinged clean out door which also works as a vent door on mine and added a 6 inch wide rack in the top back 1/4 of the barrel which is great for link sausage. Nice job on the pit - just needed easy ash clean-out door and smaller pit door which is easier to work with and leaves the pit more stable.

I really like how you designed your grill. You gave me some great ideas for my future smoker. Have a Merry Christmas

You 've made a hell of a job but you sure picked the hard way

[panaygala]

Another nice drum grill is Canuck 45 Gallon Barrel Charcoal BBQ.

Why is the vent put at the top of smoker? If it is put at the bottom of smoker the cooler smoke at the bottom would escape and the hotter smoke at the top will stay. Wouldnt it be energy efficient that way?

Thanks for sharing, however i need a follow up video of how you would clean in, disposing the ash and all

Awesome work I need one of those just don't have the tools to make it

What type of paint did you use which can stand high temperature?

[amcrome]

Great job - I assume the pipe through the bottom is to improve airflow? If so any regulator on it?

[thomaswatson]

:looks good mate. What paint did you use to treat it please?

A nice powerplasma cutter would have made all that cutting short work.

when humans become extinct, this BBQ will still remain on earth somewhere for the next beings to use.
