I had an old kettle wasting away. I saw a drum on the side of the road. Instead of building a uds, that would be too easy, I decided on a homemade wsm. The world's large mini if you will.
I started by cutting the top ring off the drum so the weber lid would fit.
Then I cut the bottom 1/3 off the drum at the rib.
In order to get a good fit I welded the ring I cut off the top of the drum to the bottom of the kettle.
Pic of my dad, he's a ninja too. He stopped by to help. It's good to share my hobby with him.
I cut the legs down on the kettle, drilled some holes for bolts for the grates and diffuser to rest on.
I'm putting together a charcoal ring out of expanded metal an gonna get some high heat paint.
Still a work in progress, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
I'll post more pics as I get it finished up, it may not be til next weekend though
