One Day DIY Smoker Build And Cook | Ugly Drum Smoker |

In this video we turn a 55 gallon food grade barrel into an awesome smoker. We completed this build in one day and managed to cook on it as well. This build was a lot of fun and tested our speed when it comes to diy projects. Hope you enjoy and remember to GET OUT AND BUILD!!

Great video. Just a warning to anyone who wants to do this. Please make sure you fully clean out the drum before cutting into it. I knew a man and his son that were killed instantly when they went to cut into one. Flammable fumes were still in the barrel and when they cut into it, it exploded. Wash it thoroughly with soap and water and let it completely air dry and leave the fill cap off before cutting.

My friend and I did this build yesterday with a few minor modifications. The video was our inspiration. Thank you.

I subscribed. I have an 85 gallon drum and the parts (hot pot, heating element, PID controller, auger, motor) to turn it into a pellet smoker so that's the project over Christmas break.

Wtg fellas! Can't wait to build one!

Good job. I’ve made a couple of UDS’, if you added some air intake to the bottom it’ll run better. I drilled three 1” holes two inches from the bottom and welded a sliding “door” (flat bar) at the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions. Unless the door is your air intake.

awesome job guys, very solid build, just is not a smoker, is more of a drum grill.smoking is indirect heat and smoke . again a very solid build is more of a direct heat grill.. awesome job on the build..is a job most any body could do at a cheap price kudos

Would be a killer smoker if there was some kind of defuser plate or water pan above the fire awsome build though
