  Or maybe the sausages are the size of uncut pastrami. Ok, I take it all back.

  the rest of the food wont need bbqing. But how much do i need for all that?

   Oh. At least one pit. Depending whether my mates can bring theirs. Size is about 2 A3 size papers.  My grill will be made from a steel drum.

  Cheers

  3 bags of 3kg charcoal.

  And now I finally know why you were looking for a metal drum.

  If totally clueless about the amount of charcoal needed, just buy more lor.

   

  After all, not like the charcoal has an expiry date.

   

  Can still use for the next BBQ.

   

  And the next.

   

  And the next.

  I believe you, last time in one of my projects, we made a bbq pit from 1/3 of a 600dia steel pipe.
