I just got a BPS drum smoker kit and I love it! I had a little trouble with the vents being a different than the paper templates they provide, but I made it work. I also sealed the bottom vent seams with high temp RTV sealant. It helped make it truly air tight. Other than that, the rack is quality as well as the charcoal basket and other hardware. I cooked a brisket and 3 racks of baby back ribs this past Saturday. Then on Sunday, I grilled some burgers and hot dogs with the coal basket up on the higher position to grill higher temp. That also worked very well. I am very happy with the way it cooks and I would recommend the BPS drum smoker kit to anyone looking to get the most bang for their buck!
