Also there is a place here in Orlando (A1 drums I think)that sells them for 20 a piece.

On CL there is a local guy that sells them for 25 a piece. If anyone is interested

I see quite a few places with drums for sale in Florida but I don't often see stainless steel ones offered

Last week I anwsered a add on craig's list , out here in CA the guy said he had a garage full of 55 gallon Stainless steal drums he was willing to sell me 4 drums for $50.wHEN I DROVE OUT TO HIS HOME AS SOON AS HE OPPENED HIS GARGE DOOR ............OOp's hit the caps ,sorry.
It felt like I was gut punched........ they where reg. steel drums sprayed with a cold Galvinzed spray paint........I was so bummed !
Needless to say I didn't buy them.

When a deal sounds to good to be true it usally is. !!!
Do not use any galvinized drums or garbage cans to make a hot smoker!!!!
That crap is so toxic......I worked with it for years, the fumes will get you really sick and cramp the hell out of your gut, The stuff ain't no joke !!!
