Fired up my UDS yesterday afternoon at 2PM. Had 2 large CAB briskets. I used my spicewine charcoal rack from my bandera. Filled it with kingsford and 1 small log of oak.
Maintained about 210 for 14 hours. Pulled the briskets off at 4 AM.
I put the cover back on and shut down the vents. At 2PM today, I still had hot coals.
This was one of my best and consistent cooks on my UDS. When I made mine, I made a lot of mistakes drilling the holes for my grates. This time I made sure I plugged all those holes with foil.
I had also drilled 4 holes at the bottom for ventiliation. I kept those plugged almost the entire time.
I am using my weber kettle lid which I highly recommend for your UDS.

Sweet! I wish I was an artist! All my pits would look like that! You should have put it over that abortion of an attempt at "Darkside of the Moon" art work!

Nice n' ugly! Gotta love it!
I took 2 of my drums and 2 WSM's to a Competition cooking class this past weekend. I lent one of the Webers to another team and finished two other teams briskets and butts in my drums. They had been fighting thier little loaner offsets and ECB's to keep their temps stable all day, it was very frustrating for them, I hope they don't give up Q'n after that day!
We got a First Place finish for our Chicken, done spatchcocked on the drum and cut up for presentation, won the "Friendliest Booth" title and my son won a WSM as a door prize! It was fun because everyone had to come by and check out the UDS's!
I hope I raised the awareness!

Question, I am gonna sell the UDS I made for the parts in it to a guy from the CBBQA. I bought 5#'s of charcoal today, am gonna start it tomorrow morning. Want to be able to give him some advice on how to tune the temps. How long a burn should I be able to get from 5lbs.?

About 6 to 10 hours, depending on how hot you run.

I know, it was non KCBS and it was a cooking class and Chicken and Ribs comp that benefitted a local charity, and a LOT of first time cookers attended, finished up some brisket and butts for some, mine were done and coolered, and like I said they were getting pretty frustrated, besides, the drums were hummin'!
I'll get @ 6 hours on a full Weber chimney of briqs in my small charcoal ring, I read somewhere that it holds @ 6 lbs.

Comon there sporto...I am talking about the difference between charcoal and pellet cost!.. Hey another movie quote, "Do you take me for a Moooron!"

Started the charcoal at 10:15, it is 10:30 and the grate temp is already 160*, this thing may work! Updates to follow!
Edit: Well its 10:45, the grate temp is 215*. Put the first cap back on the 3/4 inch nipple, we see how easy it is to stabilizes at 230*!
Edit: 11:45, 1 hour in. Grate temp 235*. Through on two packs of pellets in foil to give some wood smoke. Probably would not have believed it if I was not doing it! Lets see if I can maintain that temp and for how long.

Well 3 hours into the cook. The drum has held temps between 225* and 240* for the last 3 hours! Cant believe I have nothing on the pit! Couple of pictures. temp guage and the amount of charcoal that had burnt!
It does amaze me! Maybe its because I built it, but these little bad boys really work! The only thing I will say is I am not sure about the pellets in foil for smoke, just does not appear to generate a lot of smoke, I no that is hard to judge, but I could see myself using chunks of hardwood or pressure treated to get more smoke!
