Oil Drum Barbecue

[paulus 26]

Right, cut the oil drum in half and I'm still here. Luckily it only held depleted uranium and not petrol. Hinges fixed, inside wire brushed out and now I've got a little fire going in it to burn off any nasties.

Tomorrow I'm going to fix a bit of angle iron inside for the charcoal and another bit for the grill.

How many air holes if any should I drill and how big?

Set of legs and a lick of paint and Bob's your Uncle.

Have you seen the price of s/s grills? I'm not paying that kind of money, so i'm going to get some mesh to do the job. Does anyone know what material this should be made of so as not to taint the food? And don't say asbestos covered lead.

The bloody summer will be over by the time you finish it ..........can't you find a couple of old cookers and use the shelves from the oven?

I only got the drum last week ffs. Summer has to start before it can be over anyway. "Find" a couple of cookers. Hmmm.

I see hinges mentioned, are you putting on a hinged lid to keep weather out, or for using when your cooking?

 

I think im gonna do one but out of an old gas bottle.

Get down your local tip and have a mooch round the white goods section..

Got to be an old trolley reclaimed from the canal for the grills. (obviously not uplifted from the trolley park at the supermarket...!)

I've just agreed to make an oil drum barbecue rather than fork out £200 to buy one. I just bought an oil drum off evilbay and I have a welder. How hard can it be?
