Smokeless Firepit Build

[@JamesBond-qv2ht]

Great video. You saved yourself $500-$600 plus the satisfaction of creating something with your own hands.

Watched a few of these. I really like three things on this video: 1) Time lapse sped up. 2) Using only half a barrel. Not like they're expensive but a full height 55g seems a bit tall to enjoy the fire. 3) Clean as you go. From a person who's made nothing but ginormous messes with each project, this simple little practice of cleaning as you go is a good habit to form.

Exactly what I was looking for. Really nice work.

This is perfection! Great build!

Amazing. Great work Dad. You are very talented. Good music too!

0:25 Before you do this on closed drum, make damn sure the old contents of the drum were not flammable. Vapors can be just as explosive as the former contents, and guys have gotten killed cutting into "empty" drums that exploded. I was just reading about a guy in Pennsylvania who got killed by a burn barrel last week. Another incident in Iowa killed a man who was welding on top of a barrel, using it as a workbench. Filling the drum with water before cutting into it can displace explosive vapors, if done correctly.

Good points!... this particular drum contain food products

[@vaughnwesterby5162]

Impressive! 👍🏻

[@lycaon7888]

Looks great but I wish you had slowed a little and also a little closer at times to show what you did. I know others as well as myself want to build something like this but need the closer details. But the end product looks great!

[@paullopez3214]

Great video, I would like you to give me the measurements and specifications so I can make one. thank you.

0:33 I thought you were eating crab legs on the job haha! Great build by the way. I love a good DIY project

[@trigger0403]

Hey mate just wondering what you were doing with that lid there i couldnt really get a good look

[@e.mcclain1171]

Very Nice 👍..... Where can we buy the blueprints to build??

[@talasdrum2]

The little sketch at the beginning was all I used. Having made a few of these now, I've found that all 55 gal drums are not equal. This drum carried a food product, but drums for chemicals are a bit different, I like the food product drums better...and easier to clean!

[@Agonize3]

How did you attach the inside to the outside. It looked like rivets but I don't see anything when you show the inside view

[@talasdrum2]

Thanks for watching!...I used self-tapping screws for all fastening. Many fires this summer...it worked well!

[@billwest5330]

Can u show me in slower detail the method of the inner part?

[@DaleEdwards-m9d]

can you provide the measurements

[@Floyd_Rage3612]

Amazing

[@Floyd_Rage3612]

I’m looking to get my first set of hand power tools, what brand would you recommend?

[@talasdrum2]

@@Floyd_Rage3612 ...I use mostly Makita cordless tools for many years now. Durable and powerful!
