I never did post the pics of my build. So here goes...

This is my daughter Shelby helping out.

Started out with a brand new, 16 gauge drum. This was an early birthday present from my mother-in-law.

This is another one of Shelby helping with the drilling and filing.

The rust preventive coating came right off with the tiger torch.

My fishing partner Tom took a turn with the torch.

Here is the finished product.

Did a nice hot burn to season it.

Figured I'd break it in with a little chicken.

Thanks for looking. I am having an absolute blast with it. We have a birthday party to attend this weekend and my wife has requested that I make another big batch of ABT's for it. That will be three weekends in a row that I have been able to do something with the drum. I can't wait for summer.

Cheers, Jeff.

@Kevinish - Thanks! I appreciate it.

@sheepdad - I have yet to refer to it as "ugly". I love that Big Poppa chose to call it an "EDS". Great marketing. Cheers!

@Big Poppa - Yes, it is. Thanks to BPS for making it effortless. All of your R&D took the guess work out of it!

Dang Man! I'm jealous! :) Haven't found a drum yet, and the weather here in Mass has not been co-operating.. This will be the 3rd weekend in a row with snow. Where did you get the Tiger torch? I haven't seen them here locally. Also, after burning the paint off, did you sand or do anything to the surface before painting? Wicked nice build.. Can't wait to get mine started.
