Pretty neat =)...
I wonder if the barrel is a functioning smoke stack. With the lid up, I can't tell if there is another stack hidden
Yeah, thats what it looks like. Trying hard (real hard, but apparently not hard enough) to avoid Freudian refernces (meat, smoke, guns, ummm)

. Its a perversion of the basic Tx. hibatchi. Thats a 55 gallon drum, with a smoke box on the side and a vent tube on top. I just wonder if the smoke will cool too much by the time it travels down the "barrel" to maintain that 250 to 300 degree temp you want.
FQ13 who thinks the artistry is in the meat not the grill. Hell we used to make them out of old fridges with a smoke box piped in on the side, the wire racks used for meat, and a pipe drilled into the top. Good eating.
