Whats on The BBQ?

[Hud]

This is my setup! A weber 22.5" lid will fit on a 55 gal. drum. I pick them up at yard sales for 10-15 bucks!

Hey Hud, can you give me a short lesson on the barrel smoker? Looking at doing this.

I put up a post earlier with some questions.

How do you reload coal and wood once the smoke has started? Do you have to load from the top?

Yes, reload from the top! My basket will go 12 hrs. easy! I have a hook to pull the basket out with, I load it, start my fire & once its going good I set it back in the barrel!

Heres one I build for a guy here in town! If you do one with the Big PaPa deal you will build a 2nd one for sure! You really don't need all this fancy stuff! I build my 1 st one for $14.00. I cut both ends out & used a old disk blade to put the charcoal on! Worked great, just couldn't leave it alone, lol's! And yes all those parts from a 22.5 weber you can use! The charcoal grill is the bottom of the basket. 16" pizza pan on the bottom. The 22.5 meat grill fit too, I just get a new on at Wally World for 12 bucks!

I just used hog rings & bolts to put it together!

[Hud]

The whole idea is the air comes in under the charcoal. Brackets are 3" high!

[MrDenton]

That's a big basket. In that 12hr smoke, how many pounds of fuel do you estimate you burn through?
