I bought a BPS kit a year ago, but my wife was pregnant and due so I never got a chance to build it.
It sat in the attic until this past weekend.
I tried finding an open head drum without a liner since my HOA would freak out if I did a burn out of the drum. No luck.
New/used open barrels without a liner were $75... too much for me to spend
So my friend gave me a closed head drum and off I went.
Free drum plus a $45 kettle grill from walmart was better then spending $75 on an open head drum.
Here is my finished BPS drum.
It now has 2 level cooking grates with a hinged lid and sealed using an oven gasket
To monitor temps, I'm using a Wireless Temperature Monitor (Maverick ET733)
I LOVE THIS SMOKER!
