Looking for the 55 gallon drum style, made by the people that still weld stuff themselves? Nothing cooks like the old school grill from the 80's.

also, put some sand at the bottom to insulate the coals from rusting out.

Pro tip - Make sure the barrels being used are new. I remember in the early 90's in BR some dude was heisting barrels at night from his workplace. He was a maintenance guy at Exxon. He was making them into grills and selling them from his house.

When he finally got caught, they did a big ad in the paper and went on all the news shows telling people "If you bought one of these cookers, call and we will come get it. The stuff that was in these barrels, you don't want to be eating from that cooker."
