    • Our take on the Drum Smokers 55 Charcoal BBQ

    The Drum Smokers 55 is a barrel-style charcoal smoker built around a single cooking grate under a domed lid. Its vertical drum design holds heat with less fuel than an offset smoker and gives you a compact footprint for a patio or small yard. It suits people who want real charcoal smoke flavor without a large, expensive pit. Compared with pellet grills it needs more hands-on fire management, but it is simpler and tougher than most cabinet smokers at the same size.

    Questions and answers

    How does a drum smoker differ from an offset smoker?
    A drum smoker burns charcoal in a basket at the bottom and lets smoke rise past the food. It is more fuel-efficient and compact than an offset, but it has less cooking space and needs the lid lifted to check food.
    Can I smoke a whole brisket on it?
    A full packer brisket is tight on a single grate. Many owners cut one in half or use a smaller flat. Whole chickens, ribs and pork butts fit comfortably.
    Does it come with a temperature gauge?
    The base unit has no built-in gauge. Plan on a separate probe thermometer, which is more accurate anyway.
    How much charcoal does it use for a long cook?
    The insulated drum shape stretches a basket of charcoal through a long cook, often eight hours or more at low temperatures with careful vent control.
    Is it hard to control the temperature?
    It takes practice. Adjust the intake vent in small steps and leave the exhaust open. Wind and cold weather make steady temps harder, so a sheltered spot helps.
    What do I need to buy separately?
    A thermometer, charcoal basket or chimney starter, and a cover are the common extras. Some owners add a second grate for more capacity.
    Where is the Drum Smokers 55 Charcoal BBQ cheapest?
    At BbqGuys, for $1,299.00, as of our latest check.
