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.
