Just like it sounds. I'm making a 55 gallon drum smoker. I went ahead and bought a new drum so I don't have to burn it out and still worry about toxic stuff. Still debating on my layout, grill heights and such. I have most of the components and should have a season burn here in about a week, a trial cook and hopefully ready for thanksgiving! Pics will follow!
 
Pic Tease! LMAO!

I got the smoker built this weekend and burned in, temps looking good, fire box needs some work, got a metal fab shop next door to mine, "good thing". I got a pork butt in the fridge ready for tomorrow. Injected with garlic and lime and swimming in oil and my special mixture of seasonings. Monday night football and BBQ! Ya thats the ticket.
 
Alright, I just finished it up today, still got to fix my fire box but will do for now. I have christened it the "Burnt Coyote" Heres the pics of the build. I just put a pork butt on a few minutes ago so Ill post those tomorrow.

Alright, here before and before I devour this bad boy! 5 hours in the smoker at a constant 200 degrees with a water pan. I used a mixture of mesquite and hickory.

That is awesome! I just found this section on the forum...I thought I'd been everywhere.

Is the valve on the side for controlling the oxygen and temperature?

If you have the diagram handy could you pm it to me? Thanks!
