Getting ready for my fist build. Waiting for BPS kits to be back online. A couple of questions regarding drum choice. I have the option of a used, clean food grade drum with a "clear-gold" coating inside (cheap) or a brand new, unlined drum (much more expensive). The new drum is available in 16 or 18 ga. The 16 ga being a bit more money. Does it make a huge difference? Would I still need to burn out and wire wheel the new drum prior to seasoning? Your advice is appreciated. Thanks!
