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

[@arronstone9276]

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.

[@LEEBOH204]

Or fill the barrel with water and leave it full while cutting

[@wkjeeping9053]

Also burn a few really hot fires in there before cooking any food.

[@seramemoitsheki]

Eish I was about to start my dyi project but this message just scared me a little bit. How do I clean it inside before cutting it?

[@ericandersen5345]

Or put it in a burn pile with a hole in it

@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

[@lanivdw]

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

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

We love getting comments like this. Glad you guys got out and built it. This was one of our most memorable projects!

[@michaeldubya]

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.

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

[@jimmyt568]

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

[@dalewetzel773]

A drum is a great smoker if used properly

[@essayegg6990]

A drum can be used as a vertical smoker but they have this one too hot so it’s more of a grill like you say

[@stewart8908]

All they need to do is use some charcoal in the bottom and just chucks of wood for a lower temp smoke, maybe set up a removable plate to block the flames. It might need adjustable vents to better control the temps also

[@RoyaleWitCheese04]

Oh shut the French toast up 🖕🏽

[@ALswampfox]

They didn’t use it correctly as a smoker. You’re not gonna run a smoker over 300° and have actual smoked food, more grilled at that point.

[@derickwilliams2195]

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

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

[@walkingwormfood9628]

That's fantastic. Awesome job. Enjoyed the video

[@joshuaweisner3192]

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!

[@yaha4rick]

How would that contain the fire where the basket holds the coal in one place ?

[@JamesTedjo]

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.

[@gnometosser802]

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

[@andrewallason4530]

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.

[@joshuabennett723]

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

[@restless1911]

Thankfully someone else said it. This is a grill

[@Sl20]

Awesome job !!!!congratulations 🫢🤫🔴

[@EddieGarcia-hm6pl]

Great job on the project. Enjoy, it my friends salute (cheers)

[@timothyhiggins6430]

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..

[@russelljimenez4715]

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

[@adamwainwright9658]

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

[@Bod_Camper]

bạn nên làm hẳn 1 cái cửa to ở phía dưới để cho củi và than vào ở đó nó sẽ tiện hơn

[@Jay-Dee]

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

[@trustn01rs]

The whole point of drum smokers is for the fat to drip off the meat into the fire adding more flavor

[@hereweare9011]

​@Hyper Wolfe that's how you create that black sm9ke you don't want.

[@phuketbungalowinfo2757]

good job guys, cheers from Thailand

[@waaagh3203]

I would suggest being very careful where the drum comes from (I would also recommend only single use drums, so you know for sure what was kept in there). IF you can't, and you really want to go ahead, remember to wear full PPE and open air to clean it out. I would suggest stripping the metal itself a bit whether through grinding or what not AFTER cleaning it out with soap and water extremely well and scrubbing it (because, before, there could be something in there that has a low flash point and will ignite). You need to absolutely make sure there are no hazardous materials, and that's a hard thing to do.

[@saundersmlambo7198]

[@Fladelerium]

I usually mine my own iron ore and build my barrels from scratch. My landlord hates me.

[@craigstill]

I agree. 3 minutes in and I'm like OMG. And that was just the tools for re-bar etc. Easy as.

[@dylanbingham1776]

Anything that was welded can be replaced with nuts and bolts, I don’t think anything actually needs to be welded. There’s alternatives

[@GZBulletZA]

What about that lining on the inside? A long burnout of the inner lining wont work as it contains a powered coating so the only way to remove that lining is to scrub it out after the initial burn until you get bare metal. Then coat it with any food oil and burn it again to create a protective layer on the bare metal.

[@tgs989]

Great Build

@@fathersondiygarage3580 A piggybacked barrel would be cool for some sort of wood pellet set up. Ive also seen some done with propane regulators lighting off flavored wood chips. I do tons of jerky super low and slow is what its all about.

[@AmericanVet.4everJesusAmen]

This is a BBQ as the fire heat is in sight of the food cooking, no offset fire, and the smoke doing the cooking, either hot smoke or cold smoke. Nice product you made, but I have 3 BBQs already.

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?

so no zink gal. less u burn it off in open fire b4 use. try not to weld gold looking bolts too less u hold ur breath. saying that human are ment to die sometime and bbqing is carcinogenic anyway. thin blue smoke for bbq not thick white utube how to run a smoker box

[@AtomicElectronCo]

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.

[@fathersondiygarage3580]

We plan on doing a video on how to make one. It’s a build every welder should do when starting out. We plan on making a bigger one in the near future

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.
