Just finished another 15 gallon drum smoker/cooker. Bought a new drum from Sportsman's Guide, punched a large hole for an inlet, couple of holes for re-bar/exhaust, set of handles, Weber accessory holder, 12"pizza pan and 10" fry basket for a coal basket/ash catcher, bought the hooks from PBC company (They are the best hooks in my opinion) along with a few other items (Vertical skewers, all baskets, turkey hangar, gloves, coffee cups) and made one really good smoker. Can get about 4 hours out of a smoke, if i use the 12" fry basket, i can get 6 hours using lump charcoal. This size is perfect for up to 6 to 10 people. It is a miser on charcoal and holds a temp of about 250. I do not burn out the barrel, i will do about 4 good smokes to coat and season the inside. The drum does not get that hot on the outside to burn the paint.
