I have alot of small drums (18 gallon) I think. Has anyone tried making a smoker out of these? With the do it your selfers on this web site that is probably a stupid question.

Those seem really small....what are the dimensions? I'm sure you can make them work somehow.

27.5 tall 14.5 o.d. would be perfect for small smokes chicken,burgers,apps or anything for 4 to 5 people.

How many do you have?, I think it would be fun to try and see what you get!

Yup, two racks, the Smokey Joe fit, but I found the cheaper Charbroil fit as well and is somewhat taller. Temps hold like a rock, just need to get in and out in a hurry. I usually remove the racks with the food on them if I need to flip or add MOINKS, Abt's.
