From a GB Packers fan I have to say that is one of the baddest-ass UDS builds I've seen to date. Now PACK it with some meat!!!

Thats a pretty sweet build. How much money do you have in it?

once you get a temp it's set it and forget it if you get a computer unit for it you don't even look twice. I have a pitmaster IQ for mine just did a 12 hour cook for Easter still have charcoal in the basket for ready for more. all depends on how airtight it is and what size basket you have. I love my uds I'm currently building a horizontal smoker the wife said I had to get rid of it before I bring it home little does she know it ain't going anywhere he he

60 for the new drum
50 to get it sandblasted
140 for the big poppa smoker uds kit ( handles, shelf u bolts, therm, char basket, tool hanger shield)... More came with it but I didn't use
Few bucks for some extra pipe etc...
And prob 30 in paint and primer...
Prob a little more than I wanted to spend but I think it turned out ok...
