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.

You really don't want your meat falling off the bone, because that means you overcooked them.
Shouldn't be an issue. |

Wouldn't the juices from the meat dripping on the coals fluctuate the temperature?

Also, do you have to have pink salt? Is that a must need ingredient? |

Not trying to be controversial here, but do you really want lots of essentially grease causing your smoke? I don't think so. I wouldn't want the fire to be caused by dripping fat. On a grill it's a different animal, because the steaks are just flamed "kissed", but when smoking for several hours, I would rather have wood smoke than liquified fat smoke.

From Grillbeast.com
Lesson 5: Cook Over Indirect Heat When you're doing a short, fast cook, drippings falling onto the embers below can add extra flavor to items like steak, chicken pieces, and seafood. However, direct cooking is not something you want to do for long cooks. The meat juices and fat drippings will cool the embers over time, as well as produce a bitter, dirty smoke. Therefore, you want to keep big cuts of meat away from the flames while maintaining a temperature of about 225ºF. Sayin.... |

That's what I was thinking. Drippings on hot embers does create a funny smell, didn't think about that. If FMB likes his product and doesn't have any issues with it, I'd take his word for it. |
