    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    I Did mine a bit different. I used 2 -2" Auto exhaust pipes out the top with no damper.  I use a cover on one if I need to slow  the draw out.  Did not use stove pipe coming out. I do have the damper from the between the two barrels, but find I don't have to use it mush once I got it set. In...

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    Good idea. with the two vents. I used 30 gal instead of 55 gal and had less space to work with. I used an open ended drum, because they were available. Took several weeks to find the drums at all.  I'm still playing with my tuning plates to get the temp right, but I only have about a 7-8 degree...

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    The rails to hold the grills are angle iron. Maybe heavier than needed, but I tend to over  build.  The grills are from Lowes. 17.5 X 8 inches (Master Forge). perfect fit. Home Depot had soem  that were round grates, but they did not seem as heavy and I do niot want to replace these  any...

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    Cutting the hole for the hatch was tough. I left 2 3/4 inches on each end so the hatch  itself would close.  The hatch ended up being 17 high X 22 3/4 That 17" is following the contour of the Barrel. The barrels are 18" in diameter inside 27 inches long I drew a line exactly at the top and...

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    I used a 10" stainless steel exhause and cut it down to 6". Wood stoves are not sold in  SoCal, so Stove pipe is also not sold. The cut down piece worked well.Its about 3.5 inches  long.  btw I went to a firplace company and they gave me a piece, so look around and the  price may be right.

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    That 1st cut is the haredest. I did the fire door cut and left the piece in between the vent  and the hatch. I took that piece out later, because the end of the barrel was not flat, so  the piece would not lay against the door. Push the door as high up as you can and that will give...

    Another Double Barrel Smoker Build

    You need 3 drums to build a two drum smoker.  I searched for 3 food grade 30 gal drums and  had a hard time. Then found a cooperage that had 30 gal and 50 gal that they had sand blasted  for grills. These are opene ended barrels , so one end comes off. Nice to work with actually. $24 bucks...
