I am looking for a software package that I can use to design my own BBQ.
Essentially I know what I want but would like to draw it out in 2D/3D.
Then get a list of materials I need. Is there anything out there that I can
use, prefer something that is basically drag & drop.

TurboCAD is not as easy to use as the AutoCAD range of products but is a lot
cheaper. The 2D version is quite often downloadable free from their website
as a taster.

Try a web search for a free bit of software called Design Workshop Lite. it is
a 3-D package that is lots of fun to use and learn with.

Yes I have used the 1/2 drum BBQ's before and they are good. One drawback is
that drums are so thin now the arse of them falls out quickly.
It is a brick BBQ I will be making.

have also made one using a large alloy wheel as the base with mesh across
the bottom to hold the coals in and a standard oven grill across the top
