1:16 Before you cut into a steel drum like this, make damn sure the old contents of the drum were not flammable. Vapors can be just as explosive as the former contents, and guys have gotten killed cutting or drilling into "empty" drums that exploded. A guy in Pennsylvania got killed by a burn barrel last week. There was another incident in Iowa that killed a man who was welding on top of a barrel, using it as a workbench. The drum exploded, killing him and setting a building on fire. Filling the drum with water before cutting into it can displace explosive vapors, if done correctly. No grill project is worth losing your life.
@@conradpaul6100 Put a thin layer of sand and on top of that a layer of red bricks at the bottom. Thin cement stones can do the trick too or old ceramic floor tiles..
@@legiran9564 correct. If you were to do this for a forge another option would be cat litter. I learned this on forged in fire when the contestants had to make their own forges.
Beautiful project, i searched this to make something for the festive season. Also if i may ask is it advisable to put some concrete mixture on the bottom of the base whether fire is to be lit so as to retain alot of moisture?
You're supposed to fill it about 1/4 full with a 50/50 mix of kerosene and diesel.. Then pile in your favorite fuel from yard debris.. Carefully light ,let it burn and cook down to a simmering stew, Next place your cut of meat over the steaming and smoky grates, and let cook until the meat reaches the proper temperature. Amazing flavor,.. It's also great for seafood on skewers.
@Jason Russell what are you talking about 50/50 mix kerosene and diesel. Then favorite yard debris. I hope you joking or you just happened to use the incorrect words to describe your method of how to kill yourself slowly or poison someone when grilling. Shit I use thin dried up twigs from my pecan tree, paperbag underneath briquettes on top of the twigs. Light it up with a portable torch. Pork I substitute the briquettes with either cherry wood or apple (fugi) wood. I got other methods but those I take to the grave 💯
Eu tenho uma semelhante. Só q ela é de duas tampas. Porém tenho duas bandejas de ferro feita com chapa grossa embaixo da grelha pra colocar o carvão em cima delas. Do jeito do vídeo aí ficou muito bem feita, porém não vai durar muito mesmo. Pois a chapa do tambor é muito fina.
En el fondo le hago otra base. Para ponerle ladrillo 🧱. Y lo haría más al piso. Porque tiene tapa entonces los perros no lo ensucian. Y te falta el quemador de leña. Jeje soy Argentino. Los mejores asados del mundo se hacen en San Juan. Argentina
Using that grinder and cutting wheel without a guard is completely dangerous and uncalled for. This is a great video but someone watching it will try this and get hurt
