Thank You

One of the ways I will be adapting is the choice of smoking woods. Smoking is not a big thing over here. They do smoke fish with the leftovers from the rice harvest, but its a very acrid smoke. I have managed to get myself some Lychee sawdust for smoking and will be using soon.

Lychee??
The first time I saw a Mama-san chewing that Lychee Fruit, I thought she had some kind of disease, with the red juice running down her chin. I guess that's the same stuff.

Thank You On the lookout for a drum. I assume it needs to be a drum that was used for food and not chemical or petroleum products.

In theory, pretty much any barrel can be used once it's burned out by loading it with wood and getting it white-hot. Even galvanized garbage cans could be used, as long as you burn them out really well, then wash'um out before you use them. The reason the galvi. can will never see temps close enough to the galvi off gas temp if used as a smoker properly, anything under 450* would be more than safe.

Good luck.

Welcome from Virginia. Sounds like a drum is your best shot.
