the thread on whats in your smoker, and seeing a couple guys making their own smokers, inspired me to do my own drum smoker as well.
i picked up my Barrels last week. i grabbed 3, in case i messed up. for 12$, each i figured why not.
started sanding today after i walked my son the bus stop. used a 7"angle grinder with a soft flexible sanding pad and 60 grit paper for most of it. used a wire wheel on my drill for the hard to reach ares.
