I’ve had some questions about the details of the smoker, so here I’m posting the CAD model and bill of materials as a reference. NOTE: the CAD model is incomplete… I modeled the major structure (barrels and doors) and then ended up building off the cuff as the smoker took shape. Things like the grates, drip tray, feet, hinge and latch locations, etc. were not modeled but just figured out as I went along. If anyone has questions about the details let me know and I can elaborate.<\/p>\n

CAD files:

And here’s an unmodified 55 gallon drum model (minus some of the details, like lid and caps, etc.) in case you want to create your own design:
