- My Version of the infamous ugly drum smoker. Works Wonderfully and was super simple and cheap. Here is a brief list of some of the parts I used on this build:
1. 55 Gallon Drum. Prefer food grade but burn it out before use either way. I found mine at a large bakery factory for $5.00
2. Black Pipe Nipples. (2) 18" lengths and (1) 3" length. All 1/2" diameter
3. (3) 1/2" Shutoff valves to control air flow and temp.
4. (1) 2 1/2" Threaded Black Pipe cut to any length you prefer to be used as chimney
5. (1) 3/4" electrical conduit fitting for a wire pass through if you want digital probe

6. Webber 22" grate for cooking surface

7. (2) black pipe 1/2" 90 degree elbows
8. Lid hinge spring assist

9. Lava Lock Lid Latch

I must say great job on that smoker!
Ty
Nice job!
Thankyou.
Looks great, I want to build one just like this
Go for it! Easy peasy
Hey man love this, the one part i am looking for you didnt list.... where did you get that clamp for your lid, not the main hinge the support one, :)
Thanks appreciate it. Sorry yeah the lid clamp was from the jungle website. I just added it to the description. Thanks for the support.
Great UDS build! How deep are the two grates?
Thanks. Grates are 6” and 12” from the top
Very nice but the meat turn out great.
Did you had to burn the inside paint, sand, and wash it to make it clean for safety?
Yes fill it with wood and burn for a few hours. All the interior exterior paint will burn off. Then wire wheel everything. Once complete you have a bare metal barrel. Use a high temp paint to coat the outside and spray Pam or olive oil on inside to prevent rust. Once you start using it you will build up a nice char inside that protects metal

Thank you. Can’t wait to get myself one to work on.
@@OptimisticGaragedo you need to repeat this process to build up a layer or is just once enough?
@@christopholies5617 once is enough. After 1 cook it will be nice and baked on.
Might already be aware, but briquettes have a lot of filler/binders - if you want a more ash-free burn, lump charcoal is the way to go. Curious how pellets would work in this - you might need a smaller mesh
Good call. 👍 I have used lump coal in the past but didn't really notice much difference. I might try the pellet thing. I'm intrigued 🤔
@@OptimisticGarage I didn't notice until someone pointed it out - the briquettes leave... Well, briquettes of ash 🤣
The lump leaves a small pile of ash... Like that whole basket would probably leave you with less than a cup of ash.
Flavor wise I honestly can't tell between briquettes and lump, but I can definitely tell when I've smoked with pellets - got a combo gas grill +smoker on sale for about 50% off a couple of years ago and I do love smoking 🤤
My air vents was made out of fence post 90° in up then put fence cap on n off for air flow 😂i damn near build minds for pennies on the dollar..An den put a rosstisre on it later
I will spend my money on MEAT rather than a very expensive BBQ
And with the price of meat these days. Oooftah
Great project but what prior contents or liquids were inside the drum. Thanks and God Bless.
It was used for soy oil. I got it from a large bakery factory. Thanks 🙏
Curious where you got the clamps for the lid.
I got both the lid latch and spring assist hinge off Amazon. Both work great.
@@OptimisticGarage can you share the link for them?
@@OptimisticGarage I see the link for the latch, what about the hinge?
