I am guessing no one can see the video because I haven't really gotten any comments on it. I used tinypic.com to host the video -- don't know if that is the problem.
But here is a still image of the 20 second or so long video. That's my boyfriend holding it in place for me, and operating it in the video.

I've decided that I am going to design this drum to do four functions.
1. Smoker (non-diffused and diffused) using 1 or 2 cooking grates and 3rd grate for optional diffuser medium. 2. Grill (adjustable fire basket can sit up higher right under grate for grilling) 3. PBC-Like (hanging meat from rebar & hooks--will stop holes for the rebar with stainless steel bolts, washers & nuts when not using this feature.) 4. Rotisserie -- again I'll stop all the holes with bolts, washers & nuts when this feature isn't being used. If this works well, I might get rid of my mini wsm, hasty bake and weber kettle.

I am afraid to attach them because I don't know how they will hold up, lol. I wonder if they will warp bad after some use making leaks? They are pretty thin (aluminum roof flashing). (I made them with a paper cutter, a clamp, block of wood, edge of a wooden workbench--so simple like origami lol).

I personally would take a different approach with smaller drums by creating a 2" diameter hole in the middle of the closed bottom end and installing a sliding vent controller over it like I did on my ECB mod:

Use high heat clear silicone for the sliding vent around the perimeter...maybe attach it at 4 corners with rivets if you have room. Also Look on youtube, there's a video on installation of the Big Poppa kit and you'll see how they put on their sliding vents, the slider opens and closes over drilled holes.

Those sliding vents are pretty neat! They should hold up decently I think. The drum won't get that hot at the very bottom.

Consider making your basket deeper - it looks like it is 6"deep from your diagram. More charcoal= longer cooks in case you like to cook overnight.
For my charcoal basket, I bought the expando from HD 2'x2'. Cut it in half, made a circle around a grate, to make a 12" high cylinder. The grate was attached about 4" from one end, making the basket 8" deep for holding charcoal, and the charcoal had 4" from the bottom of the drum, so I didn't have to attach any feet to the basket. The 3rd rack for a diffuser works well for me. You can put a clay saucer or water/sand pan there and still have 2 racks to cook on.
