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

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.

This should be renamed the hardest way to do a smoker

Grolsch, dutch beer in the nice very nostalgic bottle, tastes good also.

@Father Son DIY Garage., I saw that the drum was made in Indonesia, I'm proud that the product has arrived in your country... I'm excited for you and dad to always create useful content, thank you.. greetings from Indonesia

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

Great Father & Son Project and cannot help but salute you. Thank you for sharing. Take care and God Bless. ❤

Great video and awesome beer choice!! Thanks guys

All the experts here in the comments. Imma be one and say I'd love that. Like a pit cooker, grill, and if you smother the flame, smoker. I'd cook on that all the time. Mmmm... Slow cook..

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.

Grolsch! Drank many of those in Germany. Cool build. I'm gonna do one with a few minor changes. Thanks for the ideas. Peace!

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.

That's fantastic. Awesome job. Enjoyed the video

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

Loved the Grolsch bottle! Nice build

Amazing build I just finish DIY smoke maker next is to buy barrel and install cold smoke maker.

All of your videos are awesome! The smoker turned out great!

excellent choice of beer! great video as well.

Cool build! Great beer!

Wtg fellas! Can't wait to build one!

good job guys, cheers from Thailand

Super bien les gars, simple et efficace je garde l'idée pour le faire aussi ici en France, merci pour le partage et bonne continuation les gars. Cordialement Bruno

Didn't get a chance to do this with my dad... VERY Glad to see you two NAILED that cooker together!

Earned yourself another sub. Love the chemistry!

“Pop” the thigh joint on the chicken (Colonel Sanders’s requirement on KFC) and it will cook better in the joint. Hardly any chicken chain now knows this tip.

Love the teamwork!!

Soon as I open the video I knew you knew what you were doing by seeing that pair of moc toes you had on.

Hello from 🇷🇴 România! Love your project ❤❤❤

Great Build

Awesome job !!!!congratulations 🫢🤫🔴

well done!!!

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

Awesome job keep this content going!

Great video gents!

Really cool.

Loved this video, looks like it was a really long day but the payoff chicken thighs at the end look fantastic. 😀

I love how it comes full circle for me, I am Indonesian and looking for a DIY drum smoker video. Found a few Indonesian videos but I don't quite trust anything Indonesian. So I went to look for an English video (because higher quality standards for product, video, audio, and materials). Little did I know until 10mins in that the drum is Indonesian of origin. But hey, at least it's food grade! The Indonesian ones are literally made from rusted petrol drums. Yum, extra carcinogens.

Thank You guys.

I subscribed 👍 I like it, very simple and very effective. Good job guys.

It's what we need in life

8:47 The one who measured the basket that didn't fit... Fail Army Vet! 😉

Alright boys, looks like your channel is off to a good start.

Get rid of the basket and make the door flush with the bottom for clean outs. Makes it that much cheaper

I like what you did… the only thing I would have done differently is instead of the basket I would have put a removable grate like you did for your cooking surface. But that my own personal opinion. Love what you did, keep up the good work!

Man thats awesome work

Reverse engineering is awsome!

Subscribed. Great content and production quality. Keep the vids coming please.

That chicken looks raw

more than perfect great job guys👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯++

Subscibed! Going to make one soon bc smoking food is life!

Make a smoke box from an old steel ammo can. Lie the can on it’s side. Drill a few 6-8mm holes in a row 2cm up from the ‘new’ top and bottom. Put a few easy light briquettes inside and light them, then shut the lid once they get going. Sprinkle some wood chips of your choice on the top and it will generate plenty of smoke.

Frikkin cool guys

Can you make an Offset smoker that looks like a choo-choo Train? I think if you have a square fire box, and then put a big square box above that for roasting with, you would be pretty close to the right shape. Then you just need big wheels and some trim

Grolsch nice going

Grolsch is king

Thanks fellas 👌

Build a smoker, and cook, and melt the wheels right off, all in the same day.

I would like to ask for an advice. I also made a diy smoker using a barrel, we tried to burn it but it did not blackened as yours. Now since the barrel was use for perfume storage, there are still lingering scent of perfume that i know would stick to the meat if i used it for smoking. What are the things i could do to remove all the perfume scent?

Yum i want bbq now😂

Hey fellas, GREAT TUTORIAL. I'm wondering about your welding cart there...looks like u used some corner steel and 4 casters. Got a plan or video for that? Even as a general shop item, that's super useful. Love how you got the vice screwed into it as well. I can weld but it's been awhile (since High School) but I can remember the basics. I have access to an arc welder and disc cutter too.

Subbed

🔥🔥🔥

yes

I'll check the feed store.

I can see that building a smoker is more work than a bbq because it has to be sealed so that smoke can’t get out. I cannot make it… I need to buy one. Thank yiu

I love made in Indonesia ..

You should have a heat shield between the fire and the meat if you want to bring this to the next level.

I subscribed, I came looking for a DIY self sufficient meat keeper walk in cool room .instead I found a new project the smoker to add to the list of things to build on our homestead 😂😂 Nice work I’ll be back for the next video you guys Do for sure .

Smoker? Cooker more I would say. Add a tray on top of the fire to add wood chips for smoking

Need a good drip tray so you don't have direct heating.

Question - for the grill grate.. what kind of metal is it made of? Im reading there are quite a few metals that cant be used because of toxicity?

That was could, would like to see some sort of heat deflector though. Purely so i know what material you use lol

What is that brown coating on the inside? Is that paint? I'm doing this soon and I'm just afraid of the paint being poisonous. Barrel used to have fruit puree in

How do you empty the fire cage with the thermometer probe sticking in?

Hey quick question i build it one my self but after a little bit the coals go dead for no oxygen what is a tip that i can do

at first i feel like it's pretty similar barrel here in Indonesia, and then in 9:57 later i know that was vegetable oil barrel Made In Indonesia 😅

Super cool! Where did you get the barrel? I’d love to try this out.

1:07 Before you do this, make damn sure the old contents of the drum were not flammable. Vapors can be just as explosive as the former contents, and guys have gotten killed cutting into "empty" drums that exploded. I was just reading about a guy in Pennsylvania who got killed by a burn barrel last week. And I know of another incident in Iowa that killed a man who was welding on top of a barrel, using it as a workbench. Filling the drum with water before cutting into it can displace explosive vapors, if done correctly.

A big brake drum from a truck makes a long lasting charcoal basket.

A Webber 22in. Lid works perfect for drum lids

I sub 😊

id feel alot happier with a rebar / rod under that mesh so it didnt fall in off them tab

I followed you.
