I have decided that I prefer pit smoked q. I like my wsm with a fire dial, i love my pbc. I love that pit smoked flavor. So im switching up my collection and fetting rid of some gear..... maybe lol
I want a really nice "big emphasis" on big drum, at least 22 in. What are the best options outside of Hunsaker, Gateway, PBC, BHC, Bronco and Big Poppa. Those are not out of consideration but I already know about them, what else is out there?

Look at the RipTangle. These are not a traditional round barrel but are a vertical box smoker that operates in the same manor. I don't own nor have I ever used one but they come very highly recommended here in the midwest. https://www.stlbbqstore.com/smokers-...tangle-smoker/
thats a rectangle so its not a uds!! Whats the point of that???? I mean it could fit full hotel pans, maximize capacity, looks different and cool.......ok im gonna check it out lol this looks amazing!!

One suggestion I would highly consider is get something with wheels. I added mine later because the drum can be heavy and can get you dirty. There have been a few times I moved it mid cook due to rain and was glad it was on wheels.
I also like side intake pipes (shown below) so I can adjust the air flow from a height at waist level instead of bending over and showing everyone my plumbers crack. 😀
Sorry no pic handy with wheels....
Enjoy what ever you pick tenphases

About three hundred give or take. The pipes, exhaust and handles were about $100 of it if I remember. Drum was 25 so you could go real cheap. I'd change the bottom of the basket (ash catcher) to something stainless steel. Adds to the cost but my ash catcher is painted.
I ran across this company, I think on the local version of Craigslist. I've browsed their site but I don't know much about drum smokers in general, so I can't comment on the value, quality etc. Just giving you another option to look at.
tenphases I’m curious what you decided to go with on the can cookers? I’ve been looking at the Hunsaker or building my own, via https://smokerbuildermfg.com.
