Careful zilla. We could whack Alaska in half and make Texas the third largest state.

Good thing they bought that big steel case to protect the WSM. 8-[  8-[
Now that's a proud owner. =D> =D> =D>

Actually the sad truth is we have no native hardwoods in Alaska. Hence stick burners won't make it here. Consequently a wsm is the only option I see. The only way I can see low and slow is with a wsm and it does GREAT. I do envy you guys who have the option. Living where I do I've never made it to a competition but the pics I've seen have lot o' wsm's.
Oh yeah, we really won't cut alaska in half.

I'm a stick man myself, but one of these days you guys will figure it all out. It's not the pit, but the pit master. I made great 'Q for years on a ECB. The only problem is that class of pit can't put out the quanity of the bigger trailers. They can and often do win at comps.

You're right. It's not the tool but the guy on the end of the tool.

BB,
Look at some of the posts below yours.
There are some that give instruction and some have links to sites with plans.

Here's one I built a few years ago. It has an ash pan under the
fire grate that gives the barrel a double bottom. I made the cooking
grate in 3 pieces for easy fire access. No welding required, I used
treaded pipe for the legs. It cooks excellent BBQ and holds temps at
225* to 250* for 3+ hours on the small chimney of coals.

bb4980, Here's a link to some basic barrel smoker plans.

It's very basic but with some mods you can build a nice cooker.
