GUNTOWN â Right after Noah Bass graduated from college, his great uncle built him a grill from a 55-gallon drum. He used it for about 25 years, until the bottom of it rusted out.
"I got to know it so well I could put pork or chicken on it and walk away and come back and know when to take it off," Bass said. "Grilling is 85 percent of the cooking I do, I'd say."
Today, Bass uses a 250-gallon gas tank that was cut and made into a grill.
"It's pretty massive," Bass said. "That's where I do my big cooking. I've done as many as eight Boston butts at a time on it."
