UDS mods

I thought it would be fun and interesting to see a list of the mods that have been done from the basic UDS. Gotta be several dozen of them doesn't there? It will/should/could give future drumheads some ideas for their drums.

I know I used some other brethrens mods (Norcoredneck & N8Man for sure) but I think the ones of mine were;

1. cut the bottom out and use a stand so I could get to the ash pan
2. use a donor drum for a lid
3. brick paint job (if that counts as a mod)
4. bracket and 12" temp gauge at grate level
5. exhaust vent to get keep smoke out of my Q shack

I like the bail on the charcoal basket and I'm going to make a clip like N8man did. Here are my mods so far. I have a pair of folding BGE tables I'm thinking about mounting on the drums....

I could use some side tables on them. I have a few tuning plugs (small holes drilled in the vent plugs) always watching to see what others are doing with their drums!
 
Swamp, I gotta try that Rotisserie Mod for sure, I can see it as being real usefull!!!:-D
 
Great to see the mods everyone has added to their UDSs. Thought I better post my pics to.

The stand and ash pan.
The brick paint job, though I still like Smooooookin's theme the best.
The donor lid mod with the Maverick mounted on velcro to the intake pipe. The probes go through a grommeted hole about 6" away.
The rotis mod is great fun to use.
Had twins mod.
The exhaust venting out of my Q shack.

Cool stuff from everyone.

I must admit I have failed you all by not having a bottle opener on any of my three drums or The Meat Beast.

*Hangs head in shame*

I will fined some on eBay before too long though so the future is bright. :)
