Hell of a nice cooker!

Nice thread! Thanks for sharing!
Was wondering what size racks your using and what is the height of the container?

Thanks

The racks are for a 22.5" kettle and the height of the drum is 36" without the lid.

Let us know how that top valve works. Seems like it would be pretty hot to have to screw in. Nothing some thick gloves can't resolve...

It was a little hot when I screwed it shut. Just used a rag and it was no problem. The exhaust worked great!

First of all... great looking amazing drum smoker.

Second... PLEASE don't murder any more quilts by spray painting stuff on them. Quilts take a long time to make, unlike a plastic drop cloth or newspaper.
