I say build them the way you want to and use em. It is your choice in how you construct it. The blue print is here. Use as you wish. Simple!!
I also agree with built it anyway you like......but......don't come around complaining when it doesn't work the way YOU thought it would. Myself I've built a couple and all were the K.I.S.S. method and they all worked flawlessly. Then I decided to step out of the box and change things up and had trouble controlling the temps. I've fixed it since then but I knew beforehand things might not go the way I thought they would and they didn't. But your right it's your build so go for it someone has to. You never know a little thing could be a big improvement for us all to share.
I found a source for recycled stainless drums here locally so I sold my steel UDS on craigslist and built me a new stainless version last weekend.
It looks like a tin can with the label peeled off.
I did a 5 1/2 lb. shoulder for the first cook. It came out real well.
Now I just need to find me a dome lid for it.

Wow--that's definitely not an UGLY drum smoker! Very beautiful in fact. I'm gonna be keeping my eyes open for a stainless drum.
Still no ill effects from my "Epoxy Phenolic Chicken" btw and I have eaten it four different times since Sunday evening...
With it being a new drum, would I still need to "burn" the drum before cooking?
