No idea what costs elsewhere are, but in Los Angeles, Apex sells refurbished "smoker drums" (they actually call them that) that have no paint job and no lining and have been sand-blasted for $35 a piece. The lady I spoke to just now says that their refurbished drums are certified for liquids without leakage so they shouldn't let in any air that you want.
