Mini UDS Burnout

I was trying to grind the liner out,it worked but it seams like it was getting tougher.:sad:
So I looked in my shed if I had wood to burn!:twisted:
Drilled 3 air intake holes and got that thing started.

First time out for mine.

After chasing my tail temperature wise on the seasoning run, I took out the intake riser pipe and slapped a ball valve out the side, and guess what? Steady as a rock at 245-250.

One bacon covered butt, and a sadly small number of ABTs(the only decent looking japs at the store at the time)

Good move!

A shorter, fatter exhaust would make it run smoother also. :biggrin:

Here are the pics before the burn tomorrow morn. Do you think this is enough wood?

Might not be enough for that red liner, those are usually the toughest. Tan is pretty easy. Good luck.

yea,i had a whole bunch of scrap 2X4s laying around,so i stoked it up and had fire shooting 4 feet above the barrel,lol.its liner and paint free now!just got to clean it up

phDog · Sep 6, 2009

yeah i had one with a red liner. had to burn it out twice which kinda blew. its not very convenient to have a raging inferno in a barrel, in your small yard a mile outside of manhattan! i have a fire dept right across the street from me too. they poked thier heads out a few times but didnt fire up the engine.

xperzk · Sep 6, 2009

Hugh Jordon, Yeah, after reading all of these posts, I have visions of burning it out for forty days and forty nights, and after the barrel melts, the liner is still standing.

xperzk · Sep 6, 2009

The burning part is easy, it's the cleaning part I am not looking forward to. After the second burn did the liner come out pretty easy?

phDog · Sep 6, 2009

mine came off no problem. wiped it out relatively quickly too.

Maybe I will get lucky. Guess I will find out tomorrow. By the way, how long do you guys cook your MOINK balls? I'm thinking of starting with a fatty or two and some MOINK.

I like it Phubar, I think the computer table mod was sheer genius. One man's trash....
I burned the drum today. I couldn't waste the fire so I had my first meal on it. I know, burning paint and lining.... The weenie was still very good!:shock: It looks like most of the liner may have loosened. (hopeful thinking mod).

Thanx X.
Still very happy with that found,still needs some mods like a plank shelf.
I cooked my MOINKS! for a hour and a half or so,when the bacon looked nice n crispy I took them off.
But I've cooked MOINKS! only twice so I don't know if I'm correct with the cooking time.

My first attempt at a UDS

Here's my first UDS attempt. Will season it this weekend!

Installed 3 3/4" intakes at the bottom with 1 ball valve. Found a stainless steel chrome exhaust tip for $9.99 at Wal-mart.

Front view with Thermo/Beer holder basket

Other side of smoker

Secondary lid for 2nd rack when needed. Will pull the cap out of the 2" bung

2nd Lid and charcoal basket

Cool looking pit right there!

Hugh Jorgan · Sep 8, 2009

Very nice nomorecoop. I especially like that spare lid.

Very nice work, almost looks too good to mess it up by cooking in it.
