Joxer_Daly Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Was just thinking of getting my hands on an old oil barrel somewhere, and finding someone who's handy with metal to cut it in half (longways, obviously) and weld some legs, handles, and hinges for the lid half onto it. Not sure what way I'd fit the grill into the inside of it. Was speculating as to whether it would also be suitable for slow-grilling. As a nation renowned for your BBQs, what do you US sorts make of my fabulous idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some welding expertise to put it together but probably overall cheaper than buying one already finished. http://for-sale.yakaz.com/bbq-barrels-for-sale Are you making a grill or a smoker?

My first focus would be on getting something sorted for grilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
