Big Drum Smokers
Big Drum Smokers is a small manufacturer in Naples, NC that makes 55 Gallon Drum Smokers often referred to as Ugly Drum Smokers or UDS. Made from steel drums, this simple tried-and-true design works very well we are told by several devotees. The manufacturer says no water pan is included because none is necessary. The meat cooks over direct heat, but it is a good distance from the coals so you can still cook low and slow, just like old fashioned backyard pits. For tech support, education, and ideas, they also have a forum/message board on their website. They have a range of options from around $500 to $1000 plus shipping.
