    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Thanks all day long lakeman!!! I think bottom barrel will last for years but who knows? I have only cooked on it about 10 times and I don't really know how long it will last, seems pretty strong but any reinforcement can't hurt! These drum smokers really kick some @$$ for what they are! I...

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Thanks Capt Dan! That crossed my mind when I was building it. I have bricks in the bottom and that really helps prevent gettin a burn hole. I thought about getting another barrel, cutting the side out of it and putting it inside the top part of the burn barrel to protect it from the heat and...

    I think I have a BBQ (OCD)!?

    Thanks All! I feel much better now that I know that I am not alone! I saw one of those metal news paper vending boxes today and I had this uncontrollable urge to make off with it but I came to my senses and walked away... lol

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Thanks Pinkmeat! I have had a couple 3 or 4 offers on it but not quite enough for me to let it go. I am not really worried that much about selling it, just thought I would give it a shot. It is a labor of love as you say, but I love making things and I want to start on some other ideas that I...

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    I hear ya bro! I spent too much on the Vogelzang stuff for sure it was around $180.00 and I got the drums for $20.00 each. It has 4 large heavy duty casters under the wood deck, you can't see them in my pics because of the grass. It rolls great if you ain't in soft dirt and grass. I have about...

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Hey Pineywoods, Just google the name on the door and you will find the website where I got the stove door & drum kit. I think if I ever build another I will weld my own door, supports & flues. I am probably gonna go for a LP tank build next time. I might try to build a double UDS thing though.

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Hey Chef Boy, I thought about mounting it on a trailer but I think I would have to weld some reinforcement angle iron in certain places. I would hate to come to a quick stop or hit the brakes quick and have it bend the body of the barrel where the supports are. This thing is not as heavy as an...

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Buzzard - I might try the gas thing, when I do if I do I will post pics. Thanks! Nick, the answer is yes it is the same one you probably saw on Craigslist. I lowered it to $600.00 and still no sale so I guess I am stuck with it for a while.

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    Thanks Josh!!! I really wish I would have just went with a single because this thing is really hard to move around in the grass and I don't cook that much meat very often. I guess I need to make some more friends so I can have them over and fill this thing up When I was building it I stood the...

    55 Gallon Drum - Triple Giant

    I built this outa three 55 gallon drums that were previously used for vegetable oil, no paint on the inside. For the top drums I welded the two open ends together to make one big cooking chamber. I was kinda worried that I wouldn't be able to get this thing up to temp but turns out that's not a...
