Frustration
Can I just say that nothing frustrates me more than when I am all done cooking and there is still plenty of charcoal left and I have NO MORE MEAT!!!!

Re: Frustration
I do as Frank and just close down the cooker. I usually reserve the left over coal for my next chimney starter depending on the humidity and such it does not always burn as good as the fresh but it makes a good starter load.

Re: Frustration
I've always kept around a metal bucket with a snap on metal lid to dump my coals in when done. They choke out immediately in there and don't have any problems relighting later... I think I bought mine at TSC
And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy.

Re: Frustration
Thats funny dc......but I see now that its a peace sign LOL I only saw one finger the first time I looked.
I leave my coals right in the drums, just close the valves, I do have to set my welding gloves over the top vents or it will burn for days. I just dump some new in on top and fire it up. Never had any troubles with the burn in the past.
Jethro.....there is nothing wrong with building a drum with out welding. A step bit and some fittings and you are good to go.

One of the most impressive builds I have seen was a square offset built using only screws, bolts and maybe some rivets.-
