I'm planning to build an Ugly Drum Smoker. Looking for a 55 gallon open head drum with a lid, preferably unlined. I'm in the northern part of the state, near South Bend, but I can drive a little if needed. Anyone know where I might find a drum? Thanks!

There is a business on St. Rd. 19 just north of Mentone that sells drums for $4. I have bought them there.
Be sure to take cash and have some change.

Are you making a hot or cold smoker?

36fan - The smoker I'm making is generally referred to as as "Ugly Drum Smoker" or UDS. Lots of info on the internet about them. It is a hot smoker design.
airborne - thanks for the tip, is it on the east side of the road with a big American Flag on the building?

cool - I built a smokehouse a couple of years ago that utilizes a propane burner. Last weekend I smoked 6 boston butts in it for my parents 50th wedding anniversary this weekend. I can't wait to tear into some pulled pork!
I wanted to smoke a turkey too, but my wife didn't go to get it until the day before, and all they had were frozen birds :-(

I decided to go with a new barrel from a place in Dowagiac MI. Thanks.
