Dave and JD,

Thanks guys, I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually built one of
these, but right now I'm looking for a vertical 1 drum version.

A few weeks ago somebody posted about building a single vertical drum
pit. It was as basic as they come, pretty much a mesh fire basket in
the bottom and a weber 22" grill on top, with a bunch of holes for air
flow. I really admire simplicity BUT, this unit screamed for some
mods.

My first ideas were more accurate air control and somehow adding some
mass between the fire and the food to moderate temp swings, I'm
thinking either 1/4"-1/2" steel plate or refractory bricks.

Anyway, I've picked-up so much wisdom here on a.f.b I thought I'd
throw this out to the gurus.

Thanks

Jim
