My step dad had built a few 55 gallon drum types (upright) they seem to work decent. He just slices the top about 8" down, installs some hinges and a stack and there you have it.
Not very pretty though............

Depending on what you're trying to smoke, you might want to make one out of an old refrigerator. Large pieces of meat, bacon, cheese etc can be cold smoked that way. You'll need to have a long enough "run" for the smoke and air going into the fridge to cool off some, so the fridge can keep up and keep it nice and chilly in there. That's also how you can smoke stuff like hams and turkeys for days without salt curing them. The only way I've seen it done to get the smoke nice and cool involved the side of a hill , the fire pit being at the bottom and the fridge uphill from there. They then buried the dryer vent? tubing to the fridge, and the ground cooled it nicely prior to entering the fridge. Depends how far into this project you want to get I guess.

My father & I have one we built 10 -15 years ago. 4'x4'x7' high, built out 6" cinder block. I use a gas burner under a metal tray for my smoke and heat.
I dont have any pics yet but I will try to get some.

I've just been useing an off-the-shle electric smoker from Tractor Supply. It'll do a good job if you keep an eye on things, but I intend on building one myself, soon, as well. Something where the heat source is out from under the meat.
