I came across this DIY drum smoker today, and I was really impressed! Last winter, I built my own smoker, and it worked great—we had a lot of fun with it. But honestly, if I had seen this DIY 55-gallon smoker back then, I probably would have made this one instead. It’s an impressive setup, and the design seems super efficient.
Smoking meat has been a part of human history for centuries, possibly going back to the dawn of mankind. While it was originally used for preserving fish, the primary purpose of smoking was believed to be keeping flies away from the drying meat. Even with our limited understanding of how flies contributed to rotting, we somehow figured out that flies were bad news for our food and that they didn’t like smoke. It was a simple but effective solution that’s stood the test of time.
