That’s a fine idea! You know, one of the things I love about this hobby (this is only my second year), is that you can tweak your process a little bit every summer and be ready for the year to come. Maybe this is one of those things! I was also thinking about adding ceramic blanket to the inside, like another person did on a recent drum build thread featuring a galvanized drum.

I think though it would be nice to upgrade to a stainless, or maybe thick galvanized drum, some day. And maybe I’ll learn to weld, too! Hah.
