PVC? Plastic corrugated? I'm assuming steel.. possibly aluminum... wonder how wide a 55ga drum is? Should be close to that size, right? You could always find a sheet of aluminum or thin steel, roll it into a tube and rivet it together. Just throwing out ideas. I'll keep an eye out over my way too. What about an old wood stove?
Fire box…. Plastic is bad. Cast iron will last the best. A drum is too thin and has too much tin. Will rot out pretty fast. Also aluminum is bad, too easy to melt.
Thats the exact opposite of free.. 
Checked Fazzio's scrap/drop section? They usually have a bunch of oddball stuff and the drops, etc are sold by the pound.

I called over there and the woman on the phone was worthless. I want to stop by there and their NJ site. Maybe hit a scrap yard.

A couple old hubless dump truck wheels would work. Stack them up and weld them together. Heavy as hell though so back to my original comment, put it on a trailer so you can cook anywhere.....like my house.
H.Shwartz in Wilmington. Any diameter available by the foot.
I'm surprised that with a group like this no one has made a comment yet about the title of this thread.....

I think that is the way I'm rolling. Any leads on some of those dump truck wheels? Or...does anyone know the size of a beer keg and wall thickness?
Try a tire place that deals with trucks.
Not sure aluminum beer keg will hold up to the heat, not all aluminum can handle fire well.
Why metal, why not a big concrete ring?

Because that's dumb. How are you going to connect a concrete ring to the cooker?

Google offset smoker and you'll see why it won't work for what he's doing.
Think a 55 gallon steel drum would work? Too thin?

That would probably work fine.

Most that I've seen are stainless, not aluminum. They're popular with the homebrew crowd for cheap kettles.
Matt- I'm pretty sure I've got a keg I'd let go of...let me dig through the junk that got moved and make sure I didn't already scrap it.
