Hello, hello, how are you? It is very common that after the winter and all the use that we give the grill, it rusts. Rust eats away at the base, the structure and is dangerous, it could collapse, so clearly it cannot resist another season and it is time to think of something new. What do you think about making a grill from a metallic drum and also having an oven? Starting from a drum that measures 58 cm in diameter by 89 cm high that was previously used to store edible oil, we will build a grill and oven with 2 doors, 2 dividing bases inside, 2 areas for the fire and a grill for grill and 2 wheels to move it. To start working, the first thing we are going to do is cut the upper cover of the drum with the emery, but first we are going to pour a little water inside to avoid combustion with the sparks. The cutting disc is installed with the tool unplugged or without battery and always using the disc guard and the handle of the grinder. To work we put on leather bibs to protect ourselves, gloves of the same material and a face protector. The handle of the grinder can be changed in position to work more comfortably and safely. We cut only the drum cover trying to make the disc go as even as possible to the edge of the circumference. Although this drum was only used with edible oil, we are going to wash it very well with an anti-grease to prevent it from igniting when we light the fire. We do not recommend using drums that were previously containers for chemical products such as diluents, only for edible products. The pressure washer sprays water under pressure and thanks to the fact that a container with cleaner can be incorporated, dirt comes out easily. We are going to open two doors, one here for the fire and the other for the oven and up here we will make some diagonal cuts to have better access to the grill. To measure the cuts, it is best to make a vertical line on the axis of the drum, as it measures 58 cm in diameter, we do it at 29 cm, then 4 cm from the floor we make the first mark for one of the doors. We count 15 cm on each side of the line and a height of 22 cm and thus we will have a first door of 30 cm x 22 cm. For the second door we will mark in the same way but with measurements of 18 cm on each side of the center line and 24 cm high to have a door of 36 cm x 24 cm that starts just after the round edge. The diagonal cuts to access the grill are made by measuring 25 cm on each side with a height of 10 cm and then we cut a diagonal up to 15 cm. Again we put on the security measures, chest, gloves and face mask to start cutting. If you look closely, we do not finish cutting the corners of the doors well so that they maintain their position, so we can calmly weld the pommels and make sure that the doors do not get out of balance. As hinges we will use four pommels that have the advantage that they can be disassembled, so we will put them with the spikes facing up. We put the clamp that the welding machine brings in the drum so that it makes a bridge and with the electrode we gently touch the area to be welded so that it does not stick and we can make a line with the weld. They are welded together, one is welded to the door and the other to the drum, the position is 1 cm from each corner. To weld we use long leather gloves and a photosensitive mask that allows us to see the work without being dazzled. It is very important to use this type of protection, since you cannot look directly at the spark when welding, it also protects your head and neck from the spark. To finish the doors well, we are going to take advantage of welding these latches that are also heat resistant, we are going to put them at the axis of each door at the height of 11 cm at the bottom and 12 cm at the top. And when we finished working with the doors, we cut the doors that we had left together with the emery wheel so that they would not become unbalanced while we were putting the pommels. Here the spaces are better noticeable, we have the fire below, the oven in the middle and the grill above. To close these spaces well we have to cut three circles of 58 cm in diameter. diameter which is the diameter of the drum. Two of brass and one of acma mesh for the grill. To measure the 58 cm diameter we use the drum cover as a reference, we make two brass circles that we cut with tin snips. They will serve as the base for the oven and the base of the fire. And a circle with the acma mesh for the grill that we cut with the angle grinder and a cutting disc using safety measures to protect them from sparks. To affirm each of these bases we cut pieces of 38 x 4 mm plate. We need two 58 cm and four 27 cm plus four 6 cm and four 8 cm to mount the grill. To affirm the brass bases that will be for the oven and for the base of the grill fire, we are going to assemble two crosses with these plates that we are going to weld on the inside of the drum. We weld the first cross, which is the one on the edge, 31 cm from the floor. First, the longest 58 cm plate is welded and then the cross is formed with the two smaller 27 cm plates. To weld we use 6011 green point electrodes with a measure of 3.32". Green point means that it is for light work such as carpentry that is done in metal. It could also be a blue point for semi-industrial work or a red point for work industrial and heavy. The second cross goes 29.5 cm from the upper edge and will help us to support the base where we will make the fire to roast. To assemble the grill we will weld four pieces of 6 cm plate that go 10 cm from the brass base. So that the grill has different heights and to be able to play a bit with the intensity of the fire, we weld these 8 cm high plates. So simply if we wanted to raise or lower the intensity of the fire, we simply make them fit with the stops We are going to put two wheels and two legs on this grill, for that we already cut with an angle grinder from a 40 mm profile two pieces of 18.5 cm long, one of 34 cm and one of 44 cm. "U" with the piece of 34 cm and two of 18.5 cm joining the corners with the magnetized square that keeps it firm so that it does not move while we weld. To the 42 cm piece we weld the two wheels on each edge of the profile and then we weld both pieces to the underside of the drum, the legs forward and the wheels backwards, both aligned with the axis of the drum. With these structures we managed to have two legs that allow us to leave the drum stable on the ground and two wheels to move it if we need to move it from the place. The finish can be improved on the welds by grinding it to polish and smooth the finish, all this is done with an angle grinder and a good grinding disc. In addition to working with metal, the emery is not suitable for cutting and polishing wood and cleaning and removing very stuck dirt, it all depends on the accessory that we put on the emery. The best complement for our project is a good high-temperature paint that will undoubtedly help us improve the finish of our drum. We chose a matte black that will give it a spectacular industrial finish. This spray is applied in thin successive layers. It is not necessary to let them dry between them, spraying at a distance of 30 cm. Afterwards, complete drying is obtained in one hour. We already have the oven on and we are going to leave a kneaded bun behind closed doors here on the grill, meat, choripán and vegetables. What a good project.
