I have had people asking me about drum and drum kits. I have been selling straight side and ribbed barrels that are unpainted and unlined for about a year now. Since I started making the dome lid smokers some people still want the original flat lid smoker so I came up with several kits for the flat lid for those who want to diy and save some money. The straight side barrel kits start at $375 and add a wheel kit and 5 level grate holder is $499. The rib barrel kit starts at $340 and add a wheel kit and 5 level grate holders is $460. Build your own and save.
The kit includes
55 gallon drum straight or ribbed
Stainless steel charcoal basket
Stainless steel grill grate
Stainless steel intake vent
3 inch thermometer
2 inch exhaust vent with damper
Side bolt on handles
Lid handle bolt on
Lid hinge bolt on
The more expensive kit includes a wheel kit and 5 level grill grates

Big P Smokers went to El Campo this weekend for the Texas Chrome Hero’s Foundation Cookoff. Joey Smith who put on the event is a very good friend of mine who I haven’t seen in awhile. Big P Smokers donated a Red Prime Smoker to the live auction. I am getting back into the cookoff picture and haven’t been active for a long time. We did ok for not competing in over 9 years. I have always cooked IBCA and this event is sanctioned by CBA. Way different rules on what you can have on the meats and what is allowed to be cooked on. Zero excuses and thanks to a few teams on showing me pictures of their turn in plates. I’m posting the pictures of my turn in plates and next time they will be completely different lol. Great event and great swimming pool.
PS: If you hear Big Poppa by Notorious BIG
being played that is my walk up song lmao

🔥 Big things are cooking for Bulldawg BBQ! 🔥

Bulldawg BBQ is excited about a new partnership with Big P Smokers as we continue growing our competitive BBQ program and giving students real-world, hands-on experiences in competition barbecue and food preparation.

Paul from Big P Smokers recently delivered 3 UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) barrels, grill grates, fire boxes, and Big P’s proprietary dome lids to help get our BBQ teams outfitted with competition-level equipment. Our students will now take these materials and build their own competition smokers that will be used during BBQ competitions, training and cookoffs.

We are thankful to Paul and Big P Smokers for investing in our students and helping Bulldawg BBQ continue moving forward at a high level. Students will be learning more about competition-style cooking, smoker design, fire management, and the equipment used by competitive BBQ teams across Texas.

We encourage our community to check out Big P Smokers and support a company that is investing in students and helping grow the next generation of BBQ competitors and pitmasters.

Stay tuned… Bulldawg BBQ is just getting started. 🔥🐾
