Yes any barrel will work, I happen to live near wine country so hence the wine barrel.
To cut use a jig saw. I recommend screwing each stave in each ring before you cut it up.
The bung hole will have a 2"ish coper pipe that 90's down on the inside then 90's again on the floor. Haven't found a good control for the pipe yet but prolly a circle sheet metal plate or something with a screw in the top and rotates off set.

Since it's going to be electric with AMPS; air control is not nearly as important when using briquettes.

Still have that to do, and add the grates.

Added the 22" racks in today with the ubolts.
Went with two racks in case I want to get crazy and do LOTS of meat :)




Added a handle to the door and a nice decorative lock to keep it closed now




Painted the other side of the ubolts to match the bands on the paint


And now doing a full 3lbs of beef jerky and smoking away.




Still need to work on the pipe for the bung hole
And still need to add electric coils to cook with.....

Little bit each week :)

It's cold enough right now outside, so I ran to the store really quick and got a bunch of the good stuff.

Just put 4 cheeses on the smoker right now. (8:45PM PST)
Using AMNPS with apple dust

Munster (Top right)
Extra Sharp Cheddar (Top Middle)
White Cheddar Aged 9 mo (Center Middle)
and Gouda (all the slices)

Plan to smoke for 45 mins then vac seal to the fridge for a week or more.

Well hmmm. Just looked and it does not look very smoky at all.
So lit the other side of the AMNPS for double the smoke, and going another round of 30-45 mins.
