I hope the 55 gal drum barrel is just made to look like one only and is a heavy gauge steel though its porcelain paint heat takes a toll. I notice they sell replacement drums so I wonder. Anyone who has been around a farm or construction site or have made barrel smokers know the bottoms burn out quickly. Its pretty easy to maintain heat over 300 on a WSM if you want to and ribs on a meat hook I would be scared they would drop into the coals unless your drying them out at to high a temp. If this is a beefier drum I would be interested but if its a jazzed up regular 55 gallon drum no thanks.
