Thanks Dom, appreciate it.
I like the hooks, I've always felt that vertically cooking a chicken is the ideal way to do it as it allows for a more even cooking without manipulating it and it allows the excess fat to drain. So when I saw the setup on your PBC, I knew I had to add them to at least one of my drums. I haven't gotten around to using them for other meats yet.
It's a 55 gal drum, so it uses the larger 22.5" weber grate, but I don't think it would have held 6 chickens on the grate ala beer can style. Probably only 4, maybe 5 with a shoehorn. I'd be concerned about how even they would cook at that point since they would be touching or almost touching and getting them out without dropping one or dumping the grate would be a concern.
Hooks came from PBC. $20 for 8 delivered is not even worth me considering making my own.

Just looked at PBC's accessory page, price on the hooks has gone up to $25.
