Made from steel drums, this simple tried-and-true design works very well I am told by several devotees. The manufacturer says no water pan is included because none is necessary. The meat cooks over direct heat, but it is a good distance from the coals so you can still cook low and slow, just like old fashioned backyard pits. For tech support, education, and ideas, they also have a forum/message board on their website. They have a wide range of options from $200 to $2500. Shipping is extra.
