Another customer used it to make their own vertical smoker, highlighting its versatility. The drum has also been appreciated for its solid construction, with one customer using it to hold garden tools and another expressing satisfaction with its quality and fast delivery.
However, a minor drawback mentioned by a customer was that the description stated the drum was unlined, but it actually had a tan lining, causing uncertainty about using it to make a smoker.

In conclusion, the 55 Gal Steel Drum Open-Head has proven to be a reliable and versatile product, suitable for various purposes such as burning, smoking, and storage.
