Hey there, Just to introduce, I have been smoking meats for quite a while on a handed down old bullet style smoker that works really good once I figured out the ins and outs of it. But been feeling a little limited as of late so figured I would make a new smoker/ grill combo as have burned through the grill just this summer as well.

Any way short story is, I found a place to get 55 gal drums (food grade, unlined) for $5 each and so started searching the net for build plans. In the process found this site and found it the most useful of all so desided to hang around a bit.

Will be doing a double barrell style cooker in the next couple monthes and figured would post pics as I go, as well as asking questions that I am sure I can get many answers to here.

Well there is my short story. Glad to have joined the site.

Welcome aboard scotsmn30. Look forward to seeing pics of that double barrel build. Wish I could find a deal on drums like that.

Welcome neighbor, you have found the best site out there, with the best bunch of people with great information, all willing to help. I have learned more tricks of the trade and so forth here than all the other sites combined. I live in the south part of Topeka, maybe we can get together and talk alittle BBQ / Smoking over a cold one of course.
Again W E L C O M E !
