Create your own oil drum barbecue

Join Conan for an exhilarating two-day journey into the world of metalworking and craftsmanship. In this immersive workshop spanning 16 hours (8 hours per day), you'll learn to forge your very own oil drum barbecue, fusing artistry with functionality.

Conan, your experienced host, begins by introducing you to the fundamentals of welding. With a keen focus on safety and proper equipment usage, you'll gain insights into the tools that form the backbone of metal crafting.

As the creative sparks start to fly, you'll dive into the design process of your unique barbecue. Choose between a vertical or horizontal configuration, setting the stage for your culinary masterpiece.

Conan provides an oil drum that you'll shape using an angle grinder, expertly guided by your chosen design. Crafting hinges for the lid comes next, ensuring your barbecue boasts both form and function.

If you're a seasoned welder, you'll have the chance to showcase your MIG welding skills. However, newcomers to welding need not worry, as Conan offers foundational lessons and alternative methods. For those who prefer to steer clear of welding, non-welding options allow you to assemble your masterpiece using bolts and simpler techniques.

Crafting continues as you fashion grills, smoking shelves, and fire baskets – essential components that make your barbecue a culinary haven. Advanced participants can explore even further by creating adjustable air vents and a smoke valve.

As the workshop nears its conclusion, you'll have the opportunity to add your personal touch. If desired, paint your creation to bring it to life with vibrant colours and a touch of flair.

Conan's approach values both creativity and functionality. The design of your barbecue is a canvas for your artistic expression, blending sculptural beauty with practicality. Conan encourages collaboration on the design, ensuring that your creation mirrors your imagination. Are you ready to fire up your creativity and sculpt your own barbecue?
