Got Wood.
Use a weed burner to burn it out. I done that to a few of them and it has worked really well.

got to love that red liner!!!! have fun with it.
Drain it as well as possible, scrub it out with dish soap, and do an empty burn when it's finished to play with the heat settings. That should do it.I haven't bought the drum yet, that's why I asked. I was hoping that since the contents were in a plastic bag, maybe this drum was just painted inside rather than having a liner...
Oh well, I'll just keep looking for a better drum. I can find plenty of drums that had motor oil in them, but I live in a development and can not imagine my neighbors being ok with me burning motor oil in my back yard...
Congrats...I mean what an insanely viewed thread. lolDang, hard to believe this thread is almost 10 years old. Thanks to all the brethren that made ugly drum smoker a Internet common term.
I am on UDS #3 and have built 10 others for friends and family. I have become a big fan of ball valves and just using the barrel lid.
I use an air hammer with a panel cutting chisel in it, it curls out an 1/8th inch wide ribbon and is very controllable and loud.
A good start here.any body help me with how to insert pictures I built 2 new UDS`s and wish to share
I'm new here and have a question about UDS builds. I don't have any welding skills so I would need to use conduit nuts to fasten the black pipe from the interior of the drum. My question is in regard the conduit nut being zinc plated. Is there any concern that it will give off toxic fumes as it is heated up during the cooking process? My understanding is that galvanized metals and zinc plated metals release toxic fumes when heated. Does it burn off during the first firing and thereby remove the hazard or am I just plain wrong about it being hazardous?
Again I'm very new to this but I'm eager to begin my first UDS and to produce some tasty food. Any help would be appreciated.
To be honest, when I drilled the holes the fit was so tight that I didn't even need the nuts.
