BPS Pre-drilled SS Drum Smoker Kit

Build a competition-worthy drum smoker without the drill, guesswork, or extra tools.
The BPS Pre-Drilled Stainless Steel Drum Smoker Kit is designed for pitmasters who want the satisfaction of a DIY build with a faster, cleaner assembly process.

At the core of this kit is a food-grade 55-gallon stainless steel drum that arrives fully pre-drilled for all hardware. That means no measuring, no power tools, and no mistakes—just assemble, season, and cook. Stainless steel construction delivers long-term durability, rust resistance, and easy cleanup, making this one of the most low-maintenance drum smoker builds available.

Whether you’re stepping into drum smoking for the first time or upgrading to stainless, this kit gives you classic UDS performance with modern convenience.

Why the Pre-Drilled SS Drum Smoker Kit Stands Out

• Pre-Drilled Drum – No drilling or power tools required

• All-Stainless Construction – Rust-resistant and food-safe

• DIY Satisfaction, Faster Build – Assemble right out of the box

• Classic Drum Smoker Design – Proven low & slow results

• Competition-Capable Performance – Clean airflow and temperature control
