Fuel Barrel Grill/Smoke

I seem to recall a few others doing this in the past, but does any one have design recommendations for converting and old fuel oil barrel into a grill/ smoker. I might start on the project this weekend, so looking for input.

 

I'm sure you could come up with something. Have you got access to a used oil barrel? Have a way to cut steel?

 

Yes and yes.

 

Saw the barrel on the other thread you started. Looks like it will be fairly big. Have you got any ideas yet on what your gonna do with it?

 

Perfect for a Pig Roaster on wheels!

I think I'm going to turn it on its side, cut it just about in half, a little lower in the front. Try to make the grate so it can pull out for easier fire tending. Maybe a rotisserie for the rabbits!

 

Talk to welderdave he has a set up like that he does with old oil tanks.

 

I'm sure he will be along shortly-- he's the soul of the smokehouse.
