$400 will just about buy you 2 BSKDs from Northern Tool! I love the idea, but to pay that much for something that is hard to get to the fire, limited cooking area, and will rust out fairly quick is asking a lot! Mista got it right the first time!

i have never seen a BDS.. I thought they were just drums with grates in them. Im just curious as to what the value added is that makes it worth spending $425 as opposed to building one yourself. (or doing like mista did).
Not arguing or making fun. I never saw one.. so gotta learn somewhere.

The $400 Jumbo BDS is a food grade very heavy guage steel and its much larger than the original. I didnt order one of those mine are the old style 55 gal drums scratch and dent discount type. Much the same as a WSM in what you can cook. Sure a guy could make one but I decided to just buy it.
Phil It just has a different taste with the direct heat. Would love ta Q with ya some time

I have a WSM
I have a 8# Costco Cryo flat itching to get cooked during Memorial Day.
Not trying to start a Memorial Day cook thread, but I have to ask.
Since the "direct but further away" method of "old style" smoking (from what I learned here) doesnt mind if the fat drips down directly on the coals (flavorizer, from what I'm reading) I need to ask.
I normally cook fat side down on brisket. Does the same hold true, I'm going to use WSM top shelf no water pan, in a direct method?, or is that too much fat hitting the coals/wood
If this question is in the wrong thread, I apologize and please split/delete it.

So I would think you like the results with them. So the real secret of the cooker is the distance between fire/heat and grates/food. Mista reports his did a fine job of holding temp if I recall. how does it compare to the WSM even though they really are doing different things.

I have a couple WSMs Similar ease of use The primary difference is not using a heat sink Visit Rockys site he has tons of info there. I am hoping Mista is OK with two shelves on the standard 55 gal drum The BDS two shelf is taller than standard drums. Really looking forward to Mistas weekend results.
