They're coming. I'm going to do a boneless pork loin for supper tonight. I did some back ribs a few days ago to christen the UDS but didn't take any pics because I didn't want any evidence if the cook went bad
Anyhow, a few details on the build.
I basically followed Norco's thread on a UDS build with the exception of adding a 12" riser for the ball valve.
For the thermo port I bought a 9/32" stainless brad hole T nut.
As for the drum, I'm fortunate to have a place close by that sells plastic & steel drums. The one I bought had a removable plastic liner with bare steel on the inside of the drum. It had a plastic lid, but they threw in a steel lid for free. Total cost 15 bucks. (I liked it so much, I went and bought 2 more
). Got a weber lid from my brother so I used the steel lid to make a barrel dolly with some casters I had.
So far, it's working like a charm. With 5 lbs of charcoal I can hold 225 for 8-10 hrs no problem.
