I'm working on one myself. I got 2 55's and I'm stacking them like a T. Almost done with the top one and started the bottom.

Be careful with the linings of the insides of the barrels. I've read around that they could be toxic when burned and consumed. I removed all coatings of my barrels inside and out.

Nice. I have found that 55 gallon drums dont last long. Metal is too thin

If they were used for apple juice,they might be ok,if they had oil in them,I would pass on the BBQ.

Any type of coating on the inside needs to be removed before you actually cook in it. Or you WILL taste it in the food!!
Gixx1300R is right the metal is to thin for the grill to last very long. You might gat a summer out of it then it will probably be trashed.
But hey, its still a pretty cool project!!!!
