Pictures of my first smoker build, a not so ugly Ugly Drum Smoker. This beauty, flows perfectly, holds between 235-250F for 12+ hours on a single back of charcoal. The intake is from a Big Green Egg smoker bought off of EBay. The exhausts are standard issue Autozone chrome tip exhausts, tack welded on the lid of the smoker. Modern cabinet handles and some miscellaneous hardware from Lowes, complete the build.
Spray painted it cherry red to go with the local collage team the University of New Mexico Lobos. Its sure to be a hit at his years tailgates.
I caught the smoker building bug and have already moved on to my next project, a fully insulated upright reverse flow steel smoker. I have about $1000 into it so far and its 80% complete. I hope to have it done here in the next month or so.
Spring can’t come fast enough.
That’s a pretty sweet looking smoker!
Thanks Kirk … Lobo Red.
