Looks great! I've often pondered building a smoker out of veggie oil drums -- do the doors seal up pretty good? Are you loosing much heat/smoke?

It leaks quite a bit. I will probably add an outside lip as well as the inside lip already in place. Even with the leaking, it has been pretty easy to keep it 200-240. It makes good food, for sure. The fattys have been fantastic!
