I like your grill Dougie. What was held in the barrel pre-grill?

I think it had syrup in it and I burned it out a few times and seasoned before cooking in it. food grade barrels can be hard to find ,but that's what you really need to make a smoker. You can burn oil out,but I'd rather not . Lexington Container Company has plenty with a liner for a cheaper price or new ones for $79. J&G at Gray off 25 E between Corbin and Barbourville have them for around $20. I got one on side of road at Tazewell for $10 and $5 for small barrel inside that holds my coals and wood.
