Going to remove parts from wine barrel and install in drum this weekend have seen posts that the drum does not need a door to add fire but after playing with the wine barrel for so long to properly go low heat I have found its easier to have a door than taking it apart maybe I am doing something wrong I like to smoke between 180 and 225. It took me 17 hours to smoke my Christmas turkey and it was very juicy was the best turkey I have had
