Well, Here's hoping I did this right....

That's where I am at so far...

Trying to use the search function for the forum search, but the results are over whelming for a couple things I'm stumped on...

Chimney... Ends or Back? How far up from the cooking surface?...

Cooking surface.. Expanded Metal or Commercial avail replacement grates?...

And do the barrels need to be prepped or seasoned before I start doing things for Real?...

Edited: Woops... Sorry bout the size.... its fixed Wink

Welcome to the ring, Robert.
I can't help with all of your questions, but, I can tell you that the linings will have to be removed from the drums before you do a burn out and seasoning. Try posting your questions in the cooker section. Good info there.
