Gator,
I have built 6 different drums to date and I still picked up a couple of pointers from your project! When I build number 7 (next weekend) I will have revision 2.01!!!!!!! A guy gave me 10 great looking drums last week. All he wanted was for me to build him a drum smoker. Got his done and have 9 more drums to play with!

If the new one is unlined/raw metal on the inside, it would be worth the hassle/cost over a lined/coated used one.

thirdeye, you are the absofarkinglutely best food pornographer. I'm lazy and just take pics at the lowest resolution my camera will allow. Don't have to resize that way. I said I'm lazy. On topic. I think I may have to build one of those drum smokers. An industrial sized WSM (as far as temperature stability, fuel consumption, and sleepy time goes) for about 25% of the cost. Actually it would cost me nothing to build one. Have the tools, metal, and access to free barrels.

here is the link to the used drum, if you think it looks good to go, let me know. its just hard to drive the 45 minutes i would have to go to pick up the new unlined one as its only open during
my work hours my cost delivered is 32 vs 40 or so for a new one http://cgi.ebay.com/Used-55-gallon-S...QQcmdZViewItem

Second cook on version 2.0 not really impressed with the drafting, did chicken and fatties yesterday and spares today. Version 1.0 is forlornly sitting on bricks next to the brushpile, may have to give her a second chance. I cut up a drum with the intention of making a spacer ring to make a 43" drum. I put it together and its just too big to deal with.

We may to start calling these drums the Babyback Microwave. Did three slabs today in 4 hours, avg temp, about 220. I also did a brisket, 11lbs in 10 hours.
I am using my spicewine charcoal basket and it fits better now that I pounded down the wings on the edges. I set it on two fire bricks. For anyone building one, I think I would recommend 3 evenly space 7/8" holes about 2" from the bottom.. Four at the most. I have 4 1/2" holes in the top of the lid, plus numerous 1/4" holes from misplacing the bolt holes to hold the cooking grid. I was using the eyeball it and drill many times method. I am sure the UDS would work great with a bbq guru.

Alright brethren... I did my first cook on my newly built drum smoker this weekend. I did 2 racks of spares, a nearly 8 pound butt, and one fatty.
I made sure to go to church yesterday and repent as I felt I was cheating all day while cooking. This thing is too easy. I started out with about 14 pounds of Kingsford briqs in the Minion Method. Of that I used about a heavy half started in the chimney. I also added 2 small chunks of hickory and 2 small pieces of pecan. It was unbelievably easy maintain the desired temp. Just get it there, adjust the ball valve a little and it just stays there. I did notice that when I was going to tend the meat the temp would go up quite a bit afterwards. To battle this I found it helpful to close all the intakes for just a couple of minutes before I took the lid off. Then after I was done tending I would reopen and get it right back to where I wanted it. After 12 hours there was still plenty of coals left for another couple of hours. To my great surprise there was also some of the wood chunks left. Still had sweet blue to the end!! Cooked the ribs 3-2-1. They were fall off the bone good. Next time I will foil for less time to get a little more pull. The butt took longer than I thought to get to 200 but when it did it was awesome. Here are some pics: IMG_0937.jpg Ribs and fatty... love that pull back IMG_0938.jpg Ribs sliced IMG_0939.jpg Ready to plate with Cock of the Walk coleslaw and beans flavored with tasters IMG_0940.jpg Butt after pulling - sorry for no pic of the butt prepull.... it was getting late!!!
