    My first drum smoker build.

    Well the inevitable happened and after coveting one of these for sometime I took the plunge and had a go. I managed to source some food grade 45 gallon drums. That's 55 US gallon size. They had mango puree in them and had no liner inside just a coat of paint. I had the two drums shotblasted...
