I love my ugly drum smoker. I make everything on it. Hell I made a trailer hitch carrier for it and lug it around when we go camping places.

Alright without getting too involved in smoker theory here.....

Its prob too small (just guessing based one size compared to those ice cubes) to use for UDS (ugly drum smoker), and way too small to use as a offset / reverse flow or traditional smoker.... But you brought something up, you mentioned you didnt really like smoked meat, but like smoked salmon. This could be used as a cold smoke chamber for cold smoking fish and cheese. It might not be worth it time / effort wise but if you're dying for a project you could do it. you could use one of those A-Maze-N pellet smoker deals for $25.
