Thanks ,Yep going to put a grate of some sort in there ,I got the soffit vents for a coupla bucks at Home Depot.I built the stand out of some old crap we had laying around so the drum is not attached to it and you can tilt to your liking.So if you want to stand or sit on a stool you can adjust the barell to that posistion.I siliconed every seam on it and took a piece of vacum tubing and slit it down 1 side to slip over the edge of metal that was left over from removing the end to seal the door.
