Made a 55gal barrel smoker with a smoke box inside, thinking back to it now i probably shouldve made an offset smoker just because its easier to manage the fire but made it for new years and made my first ever brisket

Nice work

I’d be proud! I bought one 20 something years ago. Cooked a ton of meat on it. It did burn through rather quick though.

Stacks a little on the small side, but I do dig the grate haha

Hey that’s awesome! Nice work.
Question for you: did your barrel have any sort of paint on the inside, and how did you get rid of it?
I ask because we had some nice 55 gal steel drums at work but they were all painted. I wanted to convert one to an upright barrel smoker but was worried about the paint layer (this drum held 55 gal bags of fruit puree).
Someone told me to take it out back and build a bonfire inside of it to burn off any paint but I was worried about the smoke it might put out.
