Link to kit

Definitely …..DORTHY fits her great👍👍👍good job !!!!!

Awesome

Can I use plan alcohol

Damn I wish I was by you I would pay you to build me a smoker

UDS Parts is a Crappy ripoff Company!!!!

Awesome build, just subscribed to your channel, you probably have it named by now, Ole Rusty!

Corn syrup is a contaminant!

How do you refil with wood or coal without removing the food ??

I've built several smokers, grills, crawfish boilers, from everything drums, aluminum, stainless steel. But this one I truly like because it's unique looks like it will work great, and the side intake pipe. Besides the finish is cool. God bless y'all.

Great build brother! I want to make one myself, but i am concerned about the airflow. Does anybody know if air gets to the bottom properly? And is there a way to increase it on a less windy day?

Looks awesome! One question; Why doesn't anyone put doors in them for the charcoal & the water tray?

Dude. You Rock!

Name R2 G2. Rusty Grill double stack!

Ole Rusty

What about Rusty 55

Rust Bucket!!!

Should've made an access door at the bottom so you can feed lump or wood

How did you build the trolley?

Call it Maeter!

Rust bucket bro a piece of art

Everything I run through my ugly barrel smoker smells like xylene and tastes like diesel. I'm gonna have to make a new one. I found a plastic barrel floating in the river, I'll try that next.

Great job from start to finish....great product.

Hi from France, I was wondering, is there any point in having a remote combustion chamber? Like on long classic smokers

That came out beautiful, Great job.

I own a blue Gateway and love it! But after watching your video I want to build one!! Great video and the paint is bad to the bone!

Great video man thank you !

how do you get the top off the barrel ?

What did you use for the clear coat? How has it held up?

Awesome 👏🏻 awesome 👏🏻 love it

I am thinking about DYI drum smoker and I have to say, this project has motivated me to give it a try. Love the patina finish. Great job!

hey i liked your video and that finish sure is good but them top loders are just apain in the butt. bet your next one was horizontal, ha ha. anyway, all the best.

How far apart are the inlets?

Loved the video! I just subscribed

where can i get the parts?

Beware of using oil/petrol barrels

Now thats what I'm talkin bout...they sellin The Big Green Eggs for thousands!!

Nice 👍

That's super cool 😎

Thank your demonrats. They want total control.

Great Video

Make sure you don’t get a barrel that has toxic substances in it

looks awesome, thanks for the step by step instructions. I would like to build a similar one, but want to check, do you paint the inside as well? if not, does it not get rusty?

Forgive my ignorance , but how do you refuel the fire ? I mean , if i´m doing a large brisket that takes 12 plus hours , it looks like I´ll have to remove everything inside 3-4 times to add more wood , or am I missing something ? I forgot to add that I smoke with oak , not much else is available where I live.

As long as you’re welding, you could also weld a threaded coupling in, if you have one handy and aren’t bothered by the gauge sticking out a bit.
