Drum Smokers

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we talk with Mike Brinkman from Uncle Pookie Smokers about drum smokers. We talk about a delicious Buffalo Chicken Sandwich recipe from SwineLife this weekend (4:00) and the Competition Chicken Recipe for next week (5:14). Then we talk about the first drum smokers we made (11:49) and what’s the difference between a burn barrel and a smoker (17:14) why they are so simple to use (20:51) and why you don’t need to worry about leaks (24:31). Then we talk about how to fire up a drum smoker (28:50), what charcoal we use in our drums (31:53) and the cheapest heat diverter out there (37:32).

About Malcom and Rachelle Reed

We started HowToBBQRight in 2007. We didn’t know what we were doing… but Malcom loved to cook BBQ and I knew just enough about designing a website to build one. Now we sell our own line of Killer Hogs BBQ Products and create weekly recipes for our HowToBBQRight YouTube Channel and website – and now we’re doing a Podcast! To us, it’s all about cooking delicious food and taking pride in everything we cook.
