Whiskey Barrel Smoker (UDS style)

[alanneila]

This is a 50 year old whiskey barrel (1" oak) that I stripped down and refurbished to make a smoker. I am not completely done, but getting closer. I was able to put in (2) 22" cooking grates to fit 8 racks of ribs or 12 pork butts.

Nice work. Those whiskey barrel smokers are so cool and look so great sitting on a patio.

Very cool!!! Antique barrel smoker.
Takin notes...
I`m going to have to get a barrel and make me one. She`s a gasser huh? I made a cake pan burner similar to the one that gassmoker.com makes. When you get a chance to fire it up let us know how well it works i may use my burner for a Gasser UDS also.

I will do. You could make this electric, charcoal or gas. I elected gas, just beacuse it is quicker and I like the control and I have expereience with it.

Welcome to the ring alanneila, looking forward to seeing some pics of your cooks. You did an awesome job on your WBS very nice work. With all these WBS's on the ring I am going to have to find me a barrel.
