NEVER PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL OR SMOKER

Solo dar las gracias. Justo lo que necesitaba para salir al campo y hacer un asado. Recién terminé de hacerlo y lo voy a probar. Mil gracias

This style is very functional and yet it looks very strong. Well done!!!

Nice!! I have made 2 similar ones. I work as a Readymix driver and I use the old water tanks from the mixers that get new ones.

love it!! great job..

This is very satisfying to watch

Mad Skills!! Thanks for sharing!

Work. ! Great Job Fellas ! I will gladly pay a barrel grill ! No Hesitation ! 👊

Friends of mine who have built these cookers have taken the time to add a layer of fire brick along the bottom and sides to prevent burn outs from continuos high heat of the coals. One even took the time to cut the fire brick with angles to eliminate gaps in the circular structure followed by a rebar grate to hold the coals up from the bottom. Vents also help in keeping the coals burning, placed low on both sides of the barrel.

Great video !

Very nice. Love the idea. A little access door on the side of the barrel would've been helpful for cleaning.

Search for some videos teaching how to weld please!

I like lining the bottom with half thickness firebrick, including the lower sides. You'll need to do some cutting with the angle grinder but its well worth it.

Do you have a list of the sizes of pipes/legs etc you could post? Thanks - great build!

WOW that welding :)

Has the door become deformed from the heat? Seems like some steel added to it to keep its curve for a good seal would be in order. Not necessary?

Now thats how you build a Grill

Great video what gauge is that door seal for the lid? Thank You

It was nice guys

what's the name of that regulator in front of the barrel? where can i buy that?

Damn right that’s a nice grill

What size steel tubing did you use for the chimney

hey quick question what size pipe are ya using

Good project to make with a powerarc and a drum.

nice video good work where do you buy the mesh

Its seems like al these types of barrel bbqs have air intake. Is that correct?

Hi, could you tell me where I could buy those grills?

Thank you.

Didn’t see any vent holes for charcoal to burn. (Lower part of barrel).

What if you don't have a welder? Can you just screw everything in as a replacement?

@LumumbaMonologues

8 жыл бұрын

You can indeed achieve a similar result by replacing the welding spots with flush countersunk screws. You may have to be more creative with the legs and how you connect up all the sides but in theory you can achieve the same outcome or go for a more ridged rectangular frame that the barrel can sit on. The chimney may present some difficulty as a sealed corner joint but if you can wrangle a curved piece of steel piping, an 'elbow joint' or recycled wood burner chimney you could create a more fixed connection to the barrel body. Hope this helps. Happy building/BBQin'👍

We're can I get one of these pit

Two features that were overlooked(?): adjustable draft door and ash door. Otherwise, good job. Looks damned good.

Nice job...IF u have a mig welder & access to a workshop which like me many don't. Nice job nonetheless.

Hello guys, This DIY video is really interesting and useful, So, when I made my own Barrel barbecue it helps me a lot, but I have just some questions about the painting of the barrel Inside and Outside, Which kind of paint can I use to avoid rust ? Can I use an antirust paint inside the barrel or a bomb paint will be suffisant ? I need just few advices to make my barrel prettier Thanks

Not sure if you’re still looking but for anybody else who may also be searching that steel is referred to as “flat” so all you need to do is ask for flat and then they’ll ask you for your desired width, thickness and length.

I used some grills from an old BBQ that sat nicely in the bottom of the barrel a good 6 inches from the bottom of the barrel which the charcoal sat on nicely with enough space underneath for good airflow. I also added an additional air hole on the opposite side to the chimney side (around 40mm in diameter) to allow airflow from both sides👍

How big is the legs frame in feet?

Can I smoke with it or just normal bbq ???

@cavemanjoe7972

5 жыл бұрын

To smoke with it you'd want to make a firebox out of sheet steel, cut a hole in the bottom side of the barrel on the opposite side as the chimney stack, cut a matching hole in the top of the back or side of the firebox, and weld it to the barrel. Since these barrels are thin, you'd be fine using 12 gauge or 1/8" sheet for the firebox. No point overbuilding it too much. You'll want a fire basket in the firebox to hold charcoal, and a grill above that to hold a pan of soaked wood chips (I like using apple wood). Lastly, you'll want the legs to be wider, and permanently attached since the firebox will make the barrel a bit side-heavy, depending on how you make it. Hope this helps.

@LumumbaMonologues

8 жыл бұрын

+Paul Vdb There are 2 holes with caps on standard barrels, so the larger hole was used as the chimney hole and the smaller hole as an 'airflow' hole. I did add another hole on the other side (which isn't in the video) about 40mm diameter which creates airflow from both sides and with the charcoal raised up off the bottom on the barrel the air is sucked underneath the charcoal and works just fine and maintains temperature👍

You guys just need to replace that grill with an argentinian one!! Awesome job!!

I've heard that it can be dangerous to cut into a drum because there is a chance of explosion, depending on what has been in it. How can you avoid this?

@justinklein2674

If you are worried you can always fill it right full of water. Water will push out all fumes that can catch fire. And just cut into it with the water inside.

@spicysideofreena

As Justin has said previously, just fill it full of water and this pushes out whatever it is inside, always best to empty the water out first before, especially if you're using electric power tools to do the cutting. With regards to explosions though, you won't have this issue with a bog standard oil drum because the only thing you'll have in there is oil.

Why did you remove the original paint?

@LumumbaMonologues

8 жыл бұрын

The original paint was't high temperature paint and could potentially give off toxic fumes which is not ideal especially around food. Also, when cutting and welding metal (which also generates high temperatures) you want it as clean and paint free as possible. It also provides a better surface for applying the high temperature paint at the end. Happy building/BBQing 👍

What would you estimate the cost of the materials?

@LumumbaMonologues

8 жыл бұрын

+David Toney If you have all of the tools and welding equipment then I reckon you can build it for around £100. The cost of the Barrel, box section, angle steel, chimney steel and door seal strips is relatively cheap (around £35-40) if you buy from a steel merchants rather than a DIY store. The biggest costs are the spray paint (£9-11 per can) and the Stainless steel grill sheet which was £36. The additional costs are things like nuts and bolts for the door, the door chain and extra angle grinder disks if needed. Depending on what you already have and where you source materials you can keep costs down. Barrel BBQ/grill Smokers of this kind & size retail at around £250-£400 so your making a big saving and the feeling of making your own BBQ is priceless😉

Most of the high temp paints tell you not to paint the inside. If you have bare steel, you should coat with a cooking oil, then burn a fire to cure it. It won't ever rust unless you break that oil. It's the same thing you do to cast iron pots and pans.
