>>2496221Build vs buy is kinda hard to choose. The PitBoss is only $400, and it’s got all the automatic pellet feeding stuff, temp set, grease catch shit, and all that other good stuff. It even has a couple temperature probes I think. A 55 gallon drum probably would be a good option, but I don’t know how you’d feed the smoke pellets in. Perhaps just making a wood chip smoker would work good
Picrel, looked up “cheap diy smoker” and this image brings keks. Please do not build some janky fucked up contraption like this
