DIY Barrel Smoker Kits

For all the DIY’ers out there, this one’s for you!

Pit-Fighter Drum Smoker Model
Gladiator Drum Smoker Model
Warrior Drum Smoker Model

Are you a hands on type of guy looking for a DIY barrel smoker kit you could put together all on your own? Don’t skimp on quality trying to put a sub-par unit together with parts from the hardware store!  Get one of our raw steel do-it-yourself kits to assemble and personalize with your own paint color choices.  With the raw steel version you get to paint everything the way you want with whatever types and color(s) of paint you like.  Or don’t paint it at all.  Some like the rusted look.  Give it the look of a nice rich rust patina, then keep it oiled.

They work exactly the same as the fully produced one’s we manufacture, just an unpainted/uncoated version that you get to assemble and paint yourself.  And oh yeah….. the amazing draft technology is still going to be there, something you won’t get with simple builds using hardware store parts.

*The starting price for the kits is centered around what the base model includes.  Any other options the base model doesn’t include are extra.

  • If you choose, we can pre-drill all holes for associated exterior hardware on the drum & lid for you. This way you won’t have to rack your brain worrying about making mistakes you can’t fix, because there will be no need to fumble around with measurements and marking trying to line up or position holes in the right places. Just bolt your parts on and get to cookin’.

  • No need for expensive tools you would normally find in a fabrication shop.

  • 55 gallon steel drum included (ribbed or smooth sided depending on model).

  • All nuts and bolts for mounting hardware are included.

  • All you have to do is paint it the way you want, assemble it, and then season it.  That’s it!  Instructions included.
