Same guy has vertical smokers:

They are shipped from the Netherlands.

If you look on Alibaba - you will see loads like this. Basically cheap chinese BBQ's. Quality wise - i would not expect them to last as long as a Weber (my one-touch has been sitting in the rain uncovered for 10 years, and it's still like new).

Ask the thickness of the steel used as you may have issues if it is too thin.

Mine certainly isn't! Rusted cooking grate, rust spot on the lid, knackered legs.

It's not too bad though.

Cooking grates do rust - and yes, mine is rusted, but that doesn't affect the performance at all. Just rub it down, and off you go. I got mine about 15 years ago - maybe they made them better then? :-) The handle on the top is wooden (they are plastic these days) - that has deteriorated a bit. I may well use bits from this one-touch in my UDS build. I think the lid and grate will be a perfect fit for a 44 gallon drum!
