Smoker I built from a 55 gallon drum.

That's very bad ass. How much did the materials run you? I want to build myself a new one and that is the design I was leaning towards most.

I had a lot of the plumbing parts already, I found a guy on Craigslist in Almont who sells food grade barrels with lids for 30 bucks. I'm into it for probably a little over 100 bucks with the latches, gaskets, plumbing bits, etc.
 
Very nice, I have a large propane locker style that I use a lot. If you get a chance, post a couple pics of the inside.

Will do. It's super simple, one cooking grate about 7" from the top, and another one right above the fire box in case I want to cook something. Or put a pot of beans right below whatever I'm smoking so the juices drip into the beans & make them taste magical.....

Soon, maybe I'll try & do pulled pork at the dream cruise or club picnic
 
Enjoy. Mine is still just an ugly drum, I just painted mine bbq black. I used some metal shelf brackets to make my grates adjustable height, but never added a coal door. I can get 12+ hours in the coal basket, so I just top feed wood when checking on the meat. I just did 3 whole chickens yesterday.

Great tool right there!! Throw an array of meats in there and that is a great few days of food. Post up the results.

I saw one with the shelving brackets online. I like the idea​, I might upgrade mine. I was trying to build it for under a hundo & just used what I had laying around. And I needed to keep the cost down so I could put a bad ass paint job on it hahaha.
