Greetings! Its been a looong time but I've been a member here for a while, but got a bit overwhelmed with other things. I am ready now to go about a build. I acquired this 30 gallon stainless steel drum, a coal box, thermometer, smokeskack and various cut up bits and pieces from a friend who was planning to make a horizontal BBQ pit out of it. I'd like to make an upright smoker. I'll be reading up now on making an upright smoker but it seems to me I just need a basket and a couple of grills, and can use that box for an ash catcher. I'll also not need the smoke stack, though it is pretty nice and has an adjustable baffle in it, I could get the same results with holes in the top and simple covers. I have a wire feed welder but don't know how to weld stainless, so I'd like to cut and screw things together as much as possible. Thoughts? Ideas?
