Unboxing/Unwrapping the BDS

We’d like to share with you the unboxing/unraveling of the Big Drum Smoker Model 2339-1. These steel drums come packaged for war. We can’t think of too many ways these steel drums could get damaged in shipping.
We recommed careful use of a box cutter to complete this job. Here, the outer membrane of packaging is punctured

Once the outer membrane is taken off, there is another level of protection

Once that is removed, and the lid is removed, this is what you’ll get

Below the filler paper (above) is this box of goodies that Rocky include with every BDS. It may contain rub and various flavor wood chunks

Once that is removed, there is empty boxes and filler paper to keep the charcoal ring in place during shipping

This pic includes the BDS once the thermometer is on

We apologize for the pic quality most of this post as we were in very low light conditions.
