anybody got any decent plans or advice?

also, where can I acquire a 30 or 55 gallon drum?

finding a drum - that's just the beginning...you've got to be able to cut that thing in half with a torch, weld on some sort of frame and handles and hinges, interior charcoal shelf (metal grating will work fine), a smokestack (with a slide-cover?), and then maybe some sort of smoker box on the side.

Oh, and you're gonna want to wash that drum until you'd eat off of it before you do all of this.

Also, it'll be so heavy that you might think about putting wheels on it. Otherwise you'll have to leave it where it is made.

Just about any industrial business discards old steel drums. Get the biggest one you can.

any other suggestions?

plus I'm sure you could build one cheaper than that guy, I mean, he bought an empty freaking keg for $80. He could have gotten one with beer for less.

HEY SNEWF

MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE AN OIL DRUM BBQ GRILL

THAT PLAYS MUSIC

probably so

but would you use sensors in the grill or webcams in combination with image recognition software?

4/16/2006 10:15:58 PM

probably image recognition software coupled with thermal probes

so my grill can sing to me when my fucking steak is ready
