I've been smoking meat for about 6 years now. I started with a little electric water smoker that I picked up off of Craigslist. Smoked a lot in it and wanted to move up so I got an electric cabinet smoker. It's starting to rust out (from the inside) and I really started to want to move away from electric. I decided to combine my fondness for building stuff and smoking to make a UDS. Big Poppa's kit seemed like a good set up.
Luckily, living outside a major metro area, Detroit, I found a barrel refurb place that sold me an unlined barrel that had only held soap. They knew what I was using it for and recommended it. They sell a lot of barrels for grills and smokers, tho mostly the horizontal type. I feel confident that it will do the job. They also washed it out for me.
