My Dad and their Drum cooker

[FatDaddy]

Very cool, Jason. It also proves another brilliant idea like the UDS/drum smoker originated and was invented in Texas.......

Yup. Texas is where it all began. We also had one of the L shaped brick pits. with the fire at the bottom and the cook shelves at the top. It was built the same time they put in the back rock patio area. I remember him cookin briskets back there on it. Then we had a weber kettle for burgers and fish and stuff. Wish he was still around to see how far I have come in my bbq, and to drink a few cold beers with..
