    55 gallon drum firebox

    I am starting to build a smoker from a 250 gallon oil tank. Having trouble finding materials to build the firebox. Was thinking about using a 55 gallon drum but am afraid of to much heat loss. Can anyone tell me if they have done this or maybe some other suggestions?

    First try at a Boston Butt

    I got the direction from his book "smoken with Myron Mixon". He specifically says cook uncovered at 250 for 3 hours then cover with foil, with apple juice on the bottom of the pan, and cvook till 205 internal. The uncover and add glaze for 1 hour adding no heat. If this is stupid please let me know.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I am originally from the Boston area but have been in the south since 2004, so many people have referred to me as a Yankee. So that is where the name came from.
