Yeah its 2 coats vht flameproof primer, 2 coats vht fire engine red engine metallic, and 1 coat engine clear. Cured paint and seasoned the other night. I was a bit upset when paint got here, ordered through summit racing and I thought fire engine red would be RED! Being a Husker fan the Copper orange color isn't what I was lookin for! Oh well next one will be flat black and blackshirt themed!

Yeah, but I catered it so they shut up.

Thats awesome. So it basically an air insulated uds. Do you notice any difference in temps with this design?

firecap62 · 04-22-2011, 07:37 AM

Some guys use a single larger diameter pipe for the intake and others use several smaller holes and a ball valve. The guys with the large intake, anyproblems with uneven burn or temp control?

Most of the UDS folks cook with only one intake open. I usually have one intake open about halfway (1" hole adjusted with fridge magnet) to maintain 250-275. As long as I keep the open intake away from prevailing wind, I don't experience any uneven burns. The coals burn from the center, where I arranged my pre-lit coals, to the outer edge fairly even.

Yes. My fuel consumption was cut in about 1/2. I can cook for 20+ hours on 5-7lbs of Kingsford Competition briq. But the best thing about it is its stability and weather resistence. Temps stay rock steady through wind and rain with little or no tending.

I love seeing all the innovative builds. Thanks for sharing.

The Cheezer · 04-23-2011, 02:02 PM

Thanks for all the pictures and info. This site has been an amazing help for me and a friend to do a first build.
Question about inner liner; mine has the red food grade liner. We burnt the hell out of it for several hours and had the temp way up there. Do I still need to sand it or should it be OK? I'll never have the temp half that high again so I'm feeling pretty confident but you guys have done a lot of these. Sorry if I missed the answer to this somewhere else in the thread.
